I got my car today, a sporty little VW Jetta. And it turns out now we are not working this weekend. But I'm going out to the job site tomorrow by myself and wander along the two creek bottoms. I have to take pictures for the Engineer because the two creeks are an enviromentaly sensitive area. I'll post some better pictures than these few tomorrow. And I didn't bring my good camera.

That is some nice looking contry down there.
Looks a lot like home in the summer time.
Green grass on red clay hills with old dilapidated bob wire fences and fire ant mounds.
Do you know the elevation?
You gonna look them creeks over real good I bet. ;D
No asphalt for the VW.... Too bad ;D

Eddie, put those beans in your pocket. ;) So any snakes yet? Be careful around that river, might be an anaconda in there waiting for a tasty Gringo to come along,...... all alone...... :o Looks pretty neat where you are at.

David, the elevation is around 3300'. The tallest hill in the distance is the highest in Brazil. I'll take some pictures of it tomorrow, it is really pretty, covered with coffee plants. The roads are mostly pretty good. This clay raod is on the farm/ranch where we are working. The cantina/ Petrol station is where we eat lunch every day. Lunch is large bowls of rice,beans, okra, tomatoes and lettuce. With platters loaded with BBQ'ed pork, beef and chicken cooked in saffron. Also fried manioc bread and manioc stamed, delicious! And it's all you can eat. They keep bringing it till we say Bueno.
Wayne there are no snakes here from what they told me, elevation is too high. They did say there is some kind of snake that "shakes it's tail",, hmm wonder what that is? I did see one of their versions of a fox dead on the road. It was kind of black, gray and brown with small spots. And it woul be cheaper for me to order a coffee plant on line whe I get home than pay that nice fine when Customs finds it. They will probally quarantine all my luggage as it is for being around cattle and farms.
