oh ma ga- dude you are a champ for sleeping in the hammock web. Does everyone have to get in at the same time? Plus who goes HUNTING for anacondas? Seeking them out? And is this sweet lil' pig safe in all of this madness? Again, I say you are a champ.-gmoney
The only threat to piglet was me tripping over him on my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
You are so Alicia (Diego's sister)... Will wants more spider pics please.

Hope says "That pig you saw was really cute! and are you having fun? When are you coming back and will the pig be coming too? I hope you are having fun! Well, Bye!!"
I love the Fortaleza T shirt - or was it Ceara? Did you start a Mexican wave there too? Was the T shirt another sad indictment of the dire laundry facilities in Venezuela?
