The Crocs.... We saw those on the way to Jaco. Pretty cool! Jared and I have decide we want to hunt one down eventually and make a Croc jacket, with the back spines going down the back of the jacket. Maybe not down here, but in Afica possible. If you make clothing out of it you can cross borders no problem. We could sell the meat off to the locals and keep the skin. I know how to taxidermy.... Borax, salt, then dry, oil and soften, pattern, and stitch. I don´t know if it will ever happen though, we just enjoy dreaming and fantisizing about what we can do... Rambo has gotten us a little crazy on testostrone. :)

Anyways, Ryans head is doing just fine. I have been cleaning it daily and keeping plenty of anti-bacterial medicine on it. It is healling up really well. Today we are going to work some more at Oli´s house. We are going to remove trash, varnish the natural ceiling wood, sand walls, and top some trees. I though we were coming for a vacation, but we are still working. Its cool though, we surf in the morning, work, surf in the late afternoon, and chill at night. We rented a DVD lastnight, a buck seventy to rent, super cheap. Sweet!

Anyways, the surf is not good right now. There is a swell coming through, the surf is head and above high. Plus the set´s are super close together. As one breaks the one behind it is already begining to break. As well they are coming in all the time, no space between sets. Its really hard to paddle out. You can easily spend a half hour paddling and not be able to make it out past the line up. it really tosses you around. Maybe in a day or two the waves will be better.

Well I´m off to the market, then back to work.

Love,
RAY

Please post this notice on instantred.com, sort of a warning/explaination.

I have been going out at night with friends to local cafes/bars and enjoying their company. This trip is about being a blessing to people, and meeting them where they are at. By no means am I perfect, nor will I ever be. This trip is not for me to do works and deeds to show myself worthy in God´s eyes, but to bless his people in a way only that I can. At these cafe/bars I am trying to up hold the values and concernces of my sponsors. I am a representative of their generosity and faith. I am only able to carry out God´s work with their support. Their blessing is a direct blessing to me from God. Praise God for His Goodness! To all my sponsors, let me reassure you that I am doing my best to be a Christian, responsible with this faith and image to the world.
Thank you for your support, and God Bless!

Ray
