If you get them a ride they will come. Look at the truck that transported about 10 head to the wedding.

This shot came out kinda neat with a little DOF added



above:By far my favorite shot in quite some time.

Casa de Columbia es muy loca

Well not really but I have moved to a temporary location with a Columbian/1 American family. They are not part of the FARC-EP mom!It's a great little setup with lots of colors. It also has a family of geese that go nuts anytime I come close to their eggs. Problem is the eggs are at the gate of my front door. Ever been attacked by a goose? I have !

Aqua Pura

We had a team come in and sample the water in this area. I already had my doubts about what they call drinking water in Guiones and Pelada. The above image is how the current water tested. The water on the left is from a backup well that is used when power goes out. The one on the right is the city water line that comes to the homes in Playa Pelada. Normal water will test a lighter yellow color. This water tested black with high traces of things we will not mention. But thanks to a crew from Kentucky, Terry now has a backyard purifying system that puts outs the cleanest water in the area.

The Pumphouse roof had to be lifted so Saul took to the saw bench. He will only use this machete to cut things. I tried to hand him a saw and he looked at me like I was the devil.

New drain systems were dug to keep the drainage away from the purifying system.

Here is a view of what the pump house looked like before.


Here are the tanks inplace that will filter the water coming to the house. The team set them up to filter both the city water and the well.

A Costa Rican modification done to the roof and a low maintaince water purifying system in place. I have to take a few more shots to show the outcome so stay posted!..

Ok since I was cut short on the call I will finish telling you the story. I was out in the water surfing and I noticed about 200 people walking on the beach towards the cemetery. I figured it was a funeral and turns out I was right. They carried in the casket and everyone gathered to lay this lady to rest. After the funeral the strangest thing happened. The clouds got really grey/brown but only near that area and a few minutes later a huge rainbow pops from the water over the back of the cemetery. Just though it was cool and so did everyone else in the water. We get rainbows all the time and you can actually see the end of them. I have yet to find the pot of gold though. Or have I and I just don't know it ? DER!!@#$@$ :)
