Well, I arrived at the Frays via train on Monday afternoon.  I had dinner with them that night and then went to an english speaking school to play basketball. 

The next day, we were up at 3:30 getting ready to go on our deep sea fishing trip.  I was pumped.  I had always wanted to do that.  We headed out to Santos and get out on the water at about 6:00 AM.  We rode out for a couple miles and then dropped anchor and started fishing.  I was the first one to catch a fish.  It was a flounder.  I was pumped.  As the day went on, I saw others getting sea sick and making deposits into the ocean.  I hoped that I wouldn´t be one of those people….huh….but I was.

I spent a good part of the day in the holding sleeping off sea sickness.  When I´d get up, I´d feel fine for a while, then it would hit me again so I would lay back down.

I ended up cathing 4 out of the 115 total fish we caught that day.  I was proud of myself.   I also caught the biggest fish of the day.  It was about 4 lbs and was almost 2 feet long.  Regardless of my first bout with sea sickness, I had an amazing day and would do it again in a heart beat.

The next day, we went out to the camp where I would be staying for the next ten days.  After Mr. Fray left, Fabio, Flavio, and Vagnor(the three guys staying at camp with me) had to move cinder blocks from one point in camp to another by loading them up into a cart, pulling with a tractor and stacking them in another part of camp.  It took us a  couple hours, and we moved over 1000 cinder blocks.

Now we are just chilling.
