The great surfing adventure!

Hola! 
   
 Today Mollie and I completed the first task on our Great Halifax Bucket List! We went surfing in a small place called Lawrence Town. 
As much as I want to be like Kate Bosworth in Blue Crush I have come to the conclusion that it is much more difficult to be like her in Canada.


The waves were rough and the sky was a steely gray. After a 50 minute bus ride the wet suit came on and we were in the waves( with limited instruction). Mollie managed to stand up, where as I decided to specialize in wave jumping and body surfing.

By the end of the day both of us had a very through saline rinse and a thirst for hot chocolate. This being said it was an awesome time! 

Love from Shannon and Mollie
