[ME](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/skincoveredman/detail?.dir=/4ce8re2&.dnm=3236re2.jpg&.src=ph) with friends at a ministry that feeds poor children in a neighboorhood in San Jose, Costa Rica.

[ME AGAIN](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/skincoveredman/detail?.dir=/4ce8re2&.dnm=b62dre2.jpg&.src=ph) getting spanish lessons from 3 amigos. After they left I found out that they have no mother or father and live alone in one room.

[ME](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/skincoveredman/detail?.dir=/4ce8re2&.dnm=3236re2.jpg&.src=ph) with friends in a seminary in Santa Ana, El Salvador.

These pics are all from last week. I am trying to work up the courage to post about the trip itself sometime.

Well soaking wet, sun in eyes, and having my hair tied back so far isn’t really my best look! But I WAS happy - swimming with dolphins is such an amazing experience! They were really affectionate, more than the ones I swam with in Cozumel. The whole trip to Cuba was amazing.

I look somewhat better here:

Boy this is one good looking board! I hope adding my photo won’t lower the attractiveness quotient too terribly much.

So, here’s one of [me](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c316/Barking_dog/Mike1.jpg) taken a few years ago. My hair has since grown much, much longer (and is once again just one colour).

Just to be sure, all I meant is it would be way cool to have a dolphin posting on the board.

But you’re beautiful, too. 🙂

It’s great you got to swim with dolphins. I’m jealous. Although I’ve heard they can be pervs.
