It's been a while since I posted...but for a good reason......Not much to write about unless you want to read all about my learning to be a diesel mechanic...pretty boring...

It's now Apr. 25 and Sarah, my niece from New Orleans, now a Peace Corp volunteer down here in El Salvador, came over for a visit to Rio Dulce....She brought her friend Cesar along and we spent a fun (3) days touring around some of the beautiful sites on the Rio....I took them to Livingston, Guat. in the Nutria Launcha which carries you through the gorgous canyon with 300 foot walls on each side with a side trip up a small river to the El Tanamit Indian country, then back through Texan Bay and past Gringo Bay where Jennifer holds court......................

May 01...today the internet was installed at Nutria so we'er now are ON LINE....

May 16.....A group of Marine Bioligists from William Carey College on the Miss. Gulf Coast arrived for a week of meetings with Nutria owners and myself.........one of the group Gene Cox is the owner of a 65 foot schooner ENCOUNTER presently based in Rio Dulce......the schooner is to be a floating classrom for about 10 to 20 students at workshops to be held at Nutria as well as using our dormitorio for housing for the students....I was invited to assist in sailing the Schooner to Livingston and back with the biologists on board again through the "canyon", blew the biologists minds........this is just one of the many groups that I've been persuing to develop the workshops for Nutria..........................................
