Its been a bit of a week for us down here. We took off to Acapetahua which is in La Encrucijada and is the location of the office that Travis works in. Acapeatahua is a sleepy little coastal town. Both of us went to small communities inside of the Bioshpere reserve La Encrucijada. I went out with the tourism person, Saide to Playa Grande which is a small stretch of beach with a community that supports small-scale ecotourism. Muy buena gente (Very good people) live in these small communities. Travis and I also visited Rio Arriba wich has some small scale community supported acuaculture. We were very popular in these small communities because we are so tall and have blue eyes. The kids wanted us to talk in english because they only ever hear english a few times on TV. We were told by a group of ladies that we should have babies because the would be 'beautiful and giant'.

Acapetahua; a one trike town
This is a baby cocodrillo (crocodile) that was the pet of a guy in Rio Arriba. He had caught it and was keeping it until it got too big.
He's cute but I don't want him too close to my face. In case he's snappy.
