So there are alligators in my river...

So the other day I was out wandering around the town (which I do a lot fo these days) and ran into my neighbor, Capira. I work with him in the local coffee association, so we have talked a lot and gone out to work and drink guarapo a few times. He had returned from the river with another guy from town. They were out hunting for baby alligators. He says he can sell them for $20 each in Colon city as pets. Now I was under the impression that we didn`t have anything of the sort in our river, but it turns out we do. In abundance. And they reportedly grow 7 feet (!) long. I`ll let you know when I acutally see one that big.



And in honor of the 113th Civil War tonight, I will post this link for you all to enjoy. Banned by the UO Athletic Department for its use of the duck mascot but loved by Duck fans everywhere, I now present you with I love my Ducks (I Smell Roses):
