Brazil with Mike.

April 23rd, 2012

It’s been a very wild few days. To give some perspective, I’m at the output of the Amazon River in far north Brazil. Although Belem is a city on the coast, most of this area is lined in small native villages that go deep inland up the Amazon River. Tons of fruits and veggies that I’ve never seen before, and each one has an amazing affect on the body, they even have a veggie that the natives claim cures cancer. See a few pics below.

Trinidad/ Tobago

April 19th, 2012

Inspiration trip with Eric (Backside L.A.). We mobbed through Port of Spain (one of the highest murder rates in the world) where we hit a club and girls ground on us like I never knew existed, one girl asked if I was okay ’cause I was so shocked by her booty and the way it moved, but it’s just for fun it doesn’t mean anything more than a dance.

We then headed in the bush, waaaay out there in places that serve pig tail, for real pig tail, we got some.

We finally ended up in a small village called Cumama (Google it). This is where we met Mario, super real dude who catches hammer-head sharks and hunts big iguanas with his bare hands, city slicker E and I were awed, so much that we brought him on our journey with us.

We took a fishing boat across the Atlantic/ Caribbean ocean confluence to Tobago, something most Trinidadians shook their heads at, shit was tough!

Tobago was hoppin with festivities, we hit a day called “Harvest” where everyone shares food and drinks with anyone, the entire island is a family for a day, that night us and some of the Trinidad crew hit the club, gettin prepped.

Mobbed back on the official transport boat to Trinidad, Eric flew back to LA and I departed to Suriname.
