last minute brazil trip openings...Hahaha!
1. The anaconda is more scared of us then vice-versa.
2. The farm is a few thousand miles away from the nearest 'big snake'
habitat.
3. Overall, small poisonous snakes are much more dangerous than the big
ones, but don't think we'll be seeing any of those either...
4.The biggest health risk in this trip is becoming too jittery from all the
great coffee you'll be drinking! But we'll work that off on the bike and
with beers afterwards!
Tchau!

sounds awesome, but I'd be paranoid/scared of coming across an anaconda!

Drop What You're Doing, Let's Go Biking in Brazil
Join us for our inaugural mountain biking tour in our coffee farm in
Brazil.
So you've worked hard all year but haven't had your vacation yet.
We'll this is your chance to take a break! Our Brazilian coffee-cycling tour
in November was sold out until two people got too swamped with work and had
to cancel. So we now have a couple of spots open. We'd hate to have an empty
seat at our dinner table, fewer people to cycle with on the Brazilian
highlands, or left over coffee in our roaster that you could bring home with
you...

interested please contact me ASAP via e-mail or phone at 503.887.3686 in
