Believe it or not we were all crazy enough to get in the water even knowing the captain was putting chum in the water to attrack sharks (they were scared of us,friendly) and we were able to pet string ray!! This was our second snorkeling trip of the day. Our 1st one was much longer and we strayed much further from the cantamaray(sp?). We also saw sharks, string ray, eel and baracuda on this trip. A storm blew in and it was extremely windy, rough and cold. I slept well in 1 of 4 of the bedrooms on Biggz boat.
The 2nd community meeting we had in San Mateo tonight was very successful even though the weather was cold and windy. We had 7 locals the 1st meeting and this evening we had 23! We have found another American who is extremely wealthy who is willing to help us with our fundraising efforts for building the roads in San Mateo as long as we agree to not contract the work to government affiliated businesses or give a nickel to the government so that is an easy committment for us to make. He also has other connections for fundraising abilities. The people of San Mateo are MORE than willing to build the roads theirselves so labor should not be an issue.
