[Ponte Alto] Multiple Activities

[Dani O'Dunn]

Well, that is a rather large list.  May I offer a word of advice about 
brewing?  BE CAREFUL and get some one who knows what they are doing to help 
you.  Their are some inherent dangers in brewing one being that you can kill 
your self.  Sorry that I can't be more helpful, (bloody US drinking laws) 
but there are some local places that do let you brew under a master brewer.  
If nothing else get a book!
Dani
