     My mind used to be as sharp as the lead edge of a bowling ball.  ::)  But it has since gotten progressively duller...... ;D

that sail sure looks small from this side but it's bigger, much bigger than it looks!

12°58'08.84" S  40°32'48.23" E    type that in google earth, I heard after the war the place almost became a tourist trap but it's remote location kinda helps a little, I think the power stays on in the city nowadays and you don't go through army run checkpoints anymore, crazy, I remember the marching songs from the other side of a bamboo fence, time waits for no man. seems we're hostage to seasons and when yours is up the leaf pile grows a little.

yea, those dudes who caught those fish were something else, I don't think i mentioned those little canoes were too low to the water for an oar, they paddled the things by hand!

I saw a guy walking down the road off that beach with a fish, sailfish i think, balancing the fish on his head (quite a normal way of carrying things) and the nose was dragging the ground one side and the tail the other side. picture a gentle arc that long!
