You Learn Something New Every Day

After working on Centro Buen Pastor's forest trails for the future guided tours, a man by the name of Julio Cesar showed us the correct way to cut open a coconut with a machete and drink the juice inside. Yes, Julio Cesar is his real name...and yes, he is pretty handy with a machete.

After introducing himself to me for the first time he followed with, "I know, it's a big name for a little guy." Similar line to my friend Faustin, from Notre Dame: "It's like Austin, with an F at the beginning." Or to my buddy JP from Charleston: "JP, as in just playin." Whatever does the job for meeting new people I guess.

Anyways, we filled up on the coconut juice after working for awhile. I'm not usually a fan of the jugo de coco, but for some reason it tasted especially scrumtrulescent this afternoon.



Swedish fish are my anti-drug. Thank you Renee/Ashley for including those in the care package. I wonder why they're Swedish fish though, and not Finnish fish or German fish or even American fish....anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
