mightily heightily and other fearless feats.

we went for a two hour walk today, to pick up some tahini from an organic farm. no tahini to be found unfortunately, but some gorgeous chocolate, dried bananas, chilli and garlic infused rum/ron, sort of like lemoncello- but even greater for your health, and this amazing viewing deck.

Incredibly, I had no fear, despite its impressive loom of at least 10m. The theory goes that as i've had to minimise my arachnophobia, the thresholds for other fears have subsequently risen. I'll go to a job interview and get back to you on that one eh?

The only thing not organic about this place is the wood of the buildings, something I sheepishly had not thought of in considering the important organic elements of such fincas, but as our host explained, there are a number of home-hungry insects around these parts, as ably illustrated by our following friend, that met us up the top of the viewing tower. Certainly another to add to my list of anxiety inducing, but strangely non provocative interactions.

Yes, it really was as big as the sky, seating 70 with footrests.

We've just been at the graduation of the highschool girls de la isla, a big party that the whole island comes to. Thankfully we were shown the moves earlier by a troup of raunchy 6 and 10 year olds, that busked some sort of lambada but less bruce forsythe type thing for us. It was all very innocent, but there's something unsavoury about kids shimmying over each other... eh?

I think we're off to Leon tomorrow to meet the mothers of some fallen or possibly disappeared revolutionaries. They seem to run the great museums/ archives/ tributes.

And on other like minded fronts, there's a bit of 'chatter' here regarding fairly imminent plans to create a canal through Nicaragua. They only have to explode passages through a few mountainous ranges, should be highly profitable for munitions. bless.
