hello. we came into town to get our poop tested for parasites and ameobas because there´s this really good clinic here and it only costs $1.50 to get it tested so we figured we might just do it and be safe. nothing to worry about. but the farm! i wish i could put up pictures, it´s the most beautiful place i´ve ever seen. it´s one of the greenest places in the world and the farm is in a valley full of fruit between beautiful mountains with a creek that we bathe in every day and fresh water from a spring up the mountain. the food is delicious, the work is fun, the people are smart and nice and great and we´re having so much fun. there is fruit everywhere. there are about 15 people working on the farm so it´s totally full and thére´s lots to do. not so much besides fruit trees are producing right now but we´re working on a lot of new gardens. beth is great, we have fun. we practice salsa dancing every night. using a compost toilet is surprisingly not bad and hardly even smells. we eat dinner by candlelight every night and go to bed around 9 and wake up at 7. the bugs aren´t terrible, there are these giant ones though called picasenor because supposedly they stung jesus and they are like 3 inches long with bright red wings. i take showers under a chirimoya tree and eat papaya and lime for breakfast and am reading good books and drinking lots of coffee and learning a little about biodynamics and planting gardens and how to make bread and there are funny dogs and cats and i´m learning spanish vocabulary for things like ¨to weed¨ and sawdust and other things i probably wouldn´t learn if i wasn´t here. i guess i don´t really know what to say to explain it here but those are some things and i think that´s good enough.
