The RUSSIANS!

So the Russians were on Isla Contadora this past weekend.

Apparently, Isla Contadora has hosted Survivor multiple times.  Survivor has not elevated Isla Contadora to a hot-spot tourist location, but it has benefited the local economy.

It is, however, a hot-spot for some high-profile individuals like the Vice President of Panama, the exiled Shah of Iran, and the Representative of Christian Dior.

Unfortunately, we only interacted with the eliminated folks, and even more unfortunately, they could not speak English.  There were about 4 women and one guy among the bunch - all of them were beautiful and looked ready to cause drama.  Too bad they were kicked off the island so soon.

Oh yeah, I ran into some models too.
