hey, how is life! they offered from 15 minutes to 30 on their little pamplet and we went to for 30 minutes at $144 per person.

lucked out because we got to land at POP to refuel and see a bunch of old US fighter planes , as an extra!

MAR, the hens are a big time operation in La Riena on the mountain opposite directly out the back side of the STI airport. I wish her family owned that buisness! The tobaccao in one of the photos is her next door neighbor! Her family had land all over but it is run by uncles. her father doesnt do anything like that other than what her brother does at their house..about 6 hens and some roosters he raises for fighting. The one uncles house is right next door( used to be the grandparents house before they died) is where the pigs are...I guess they consider that house still the FAMILY house and property. There are all kinds of plants around the house. The land is all choped up and i dont know where one peice starts and the other ends.

Hlywud: the house she lives in, is in La Riena which is part of Moca. But I just take pictures of the places i happen to go each trip. I seem to take about 200 photos every trip! I have plenty of MOCA. I have none of downtown Moca or the other side. because we seldom go over there. We take trips , we usually pass through santiago or take the rte one road or the rte 21 road....once we came through Moca and once we made a trip just to go there, to eat....thats it.

bob

your right MAR...good catch.... and here i was thinking of looking up all my photots to see if I could find some of MOCA ha ha ha ha

as far as my gf...she has her picture posted enough I think....I already have to listen to a few complaints about me talking about my gf and showing her photo as it is. They would really go off the deep end If I posted MORE.

I almost replied to hlywud that 70% of the photos i take are of my GF!! ha ha ha ha...thinking he wanted pixs of MOCA!!!

ok one for hlywud....

here is the sexiest pig farmer i ever met! ha ha ha ha( who actually never touches the pigs either!!)

She's so cute, how can you eat her after looking at that face :surprised I'm talking about the little piggie named gringa of course. :laugh:

Click to expand...

ANNA gringa is with us for a long long time, she is for breeding only! she actually lost her virginity over easter weekend! can I have a HALLELUYA!!!!!!!!!!!ha ha ha ha....

we actually have to feed her differently than the other little 7 pigs which need to get fat fast for sale next month. Gringa needed to grow slow for breeding purposes.
