Mondu Taitu where we were initially pleased to discover our roommates would be five cute Argentinian girls. After dropping off ours and taking some much needed showers, we went to Starfleet Scuba to arrange for some diving the next morning.The boat started off at Hospital Point and then Coral key. Between the two locations we came upon a pod of dolphins who swam around our boat while breaching every couple of minutes to show off. On our diving trip was a "move guy" from Southern California who was here to do some land development. Scott and I started talking to him about wanting to go out partying on Isla Basimientos to get some real local flavor. He said he knew the islands main drug dealer Coco and he would introduce us. At the time, he gave off a very weird vibe, but Scott and I just shrugged it off. There are not may forty something single men tromping around a backpacker island chain. We took a two dollar boat ride over and found one bar which was not packed and decided to explore the dimly lit streets of Basimietos. We wandered around finding nothing and ran into the guy, Ruben from earlier that day. He bought us a beer at his hotel and preceded to tell us that he went to Cocos party but had to leave. As the story started to unravel, it became clear that Ruben was homophobic and in denial of his own sexuality. Coco was his boy toy and when Ruben grazed Cocos arm at his party as would a lover, Coco flipped out and started threatening him with death. I guess its not good for a drug dealers image to be a homosexual with a older American boyfriend that could be your father. Scott and I decided to leave shortly
after this tale, and get home safely.The next day, we decided to go and find the Berkeley High Residents who were living in Boca town and building a house. I was expecting Tom Parsley, but was pleasantly surprised to see Mika and Owen Simms as well. The guys were all exhausted from working, so Mika and some of the other girls came over to Mondu Taitu for some pre drinking.
