Repos beach

So today, I am at the beach. To get here you have to get on the main highway. Haven't tried going all the way to Pondy yet on the scooter, getting to the beach has been adventure enuff for now. I got ran off the road by a HUGE truck(didn't fall, just skidded),got stuck,dodged massive mud lakes, potholes,people,taxis, bicycles, cows, motorbikes,goats,rickshaws,dogs,mud and mud. I made it and after about a week, i have become a pro. I will be tackling the very popular motorcycle next, all the older french ladies drive them to the grocery and back. I think i'll try it.

The beach is apart of the Auroville community and is really nice. It has a thatched roof cafe, guest houses(one which has A/C) toilets, changing rooms and guards so that you don't get harassed once you are there. On the way here i passed the cute indian boy's shop that i bought my beach shawl from yesterday. he kept saying that we were getting together today but i just waved at him when i passed by.WE don't necessarily have to do anything for one.AND he had on,pay attention, black,corded,acid- washed jeans that tapered at the bottom. he was barefoot so i wasn't forced to see what kind of shoes he was going to sport. I can't get passed those jeans, i'm shallow.I think he had them on today but I was going very fast on the scooter and only got a flash of his pant.

the beach is great. the french men have on mostly speedos, one european lady had on a make shift-thong(i refuse to elaborate) but the indians wading in the water fully-clothed makes up for it. The wind is blowing just enough to keep the flies at bay and the water is cool enough to be refreshing, but there is a very strong undertow, so i didn't swim out far. I saw some dogs, but no goats or cows. there are alot of guys surfing and i think everyone is out and about b/c it finally stopped raining for a minute. a german man just showed up and is trying to fly one of those huge " kite-surfer" kites. he directed it the wrong way and hit a group of indian boys on the beach. i am glad he's not actually trying to surf w/that thing.
