Hey Wayne, yep! I'm in Patrosinio, city of coffee. I always wondered what it looked like. They grow it in rows like our oranges. This place is pretty. Ya'll have fun, tell Claude I said Hi, By and thanks for what he left me. I missed him when I got back.

    Yeah, Eddie, the coffee bean gets purple, and they pick it, and then spread it out after mushing the purple gunk off, and let it dry, and then clean it up, and roast it.  I used to have a couple of Jungle coffee bean plants, that I got from a friend of mine, who's Brother used to be the county agricultural agent, and he used to travel around the world, getting plants and such.  You can adjust the flavor, by how dark you roast it.  8) It is actually in two pieces, like a peanut.  You should try to bring some beans, back and plant them.  I think I still have some here somewhere.  Well enjoy the coffee, and look for that jasper...... ;)

I'm working with a Geological consultant down here and got a 2 hour class in Brazil's Geology. Nothing where 'im at but sedintary rock, I did see some small pieces of quartze. The Agate is in Southern Brazil.  And the farmer told me the bad coffee falls on the ground when shaken and the good coffee is what stays and has to be handpicked.

 Wow! No crowd? Those guy's don't promote enough. We ought to start one at Lithia Springs or the new state park on south 39, Jeff. I also have an "In" in Ft.Meade with the Leisure Services Program, from teaching Karate there for 12 years. My Senior student still teaches there, They have a great park on the river.

Sorry, no pics.  I did have a great day though.  Parnell and I drove up together and spent the day, it was great meeting some of the PA gang.  Nice bunch of guys.

     Swamp Bow, it was a pleasure to meet you and Parnell.   :) I am going to try to make it tomorrow, I want to get some corral, and I want to send some to Shannon.  Jcinpc are you going to have any slabs, or heat treated stuff?  8)

     Ok, Eddie, I will try.  Don't know if they will come up or not, but I will put my limited computer skills to the task.
