Thanks Dana and Chris, Steve and Ron we'll uncork it at the Classic if it makes it through, doesen't get broken or the cork come out. A lot of ifs. I was taken to the new mine site today with a bunch of Geologist, and Poloticians. It turns out the new site is that great big round circle that shows up on Google Earth. It is a Volcanic Shoot that was there before South America and Africa split. We drove down to the bottom and I'll be damned if my batteries went dead in my camera. Then we drove through the prettiest hills I've ever been in. We were around 1400 meters with huge trees. Eucalyptus trees over a hundred feet tall with huge palm trees.
I got back to the Hotel that night and was going to bed early, I was dieing from being up late the night before. Then I got a call from one of the guy's in the office. He wanted to know if I wanted to drink a beer. I said, oh what the hell, sure. I got in the truck with the two of them, had no Idea where we were going as we headed out of town and drove through two more towns. An hour and a half later we went down a dirt road and drove up to a house. I thought we were going to a bar.
It turns out the office has a Ranch house on a big river. There were a bunch of people there from the mine tour today. We drank their Shine, beer, scotch. They killed 4 chickens and cooked them with beef and real pork rinds. It was the first time I had tried cooked chicken blood. Tasted like soft liver. It was a little different looking in the pot of chicken and seeing the feet in there too. Then when it was over they loaded us on a Party buss and drove us back to town. It was a great last night here.
