Surfers On Scooters?

Haiku, bitches. That's how we infuse the original west with the far east.

The northern coast of Spain is pretty fantastic. The locals are not unlike the locals in Hawai'i. There were several surfers going to and from the beach, and according to them, the water is a tolerable temperature. Of course, they used the metric system, which is like the American Standard system, but not better. After converting the reported temperature with my TI-86, I learned that the water is roughly 56 degrees fahrenheit, on average.

The road from Santurtzi to Gijon is littered with coastline on the north and mountains to the south, and is quite stunning. The hardest thing about riding a motorcycle on these roads is that one must remember to pay attention to the road and not be drawn in by the scenery.
