Abstract: We use pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms of surfaces in order to prove that the first order theory of non abelian free groups, $T_{fg}$, is $n$-ample for any $ninomega$. This result adds to the work of Pillay, that proved that $T_{fg}$ is non CM -trivial. The sequence witnessing ampleness is a sequence of primitive elements in $F_{omega}$. Our result provides an alternative proof to the main result of a preprint by Ould Houcine-Tent. We also add an appendix in which we make a few remarks on Sela's paper on imaginaries in torsion free hyperbolic groups. In particular we give alternative transparent proofs concerning the non-elimination of certain imaginaries.
