the good life

yo yo,
so, today i woke up (in the upstairs room of the house, which is the first picture in the last post, because i officially moved in there in the past few days) went out to the balcony and watched a flock of thirty plus green parrots go at the sunflowers in the garden for about an hour. then i made everyone orange banana custard crepes, and followed that up with an eggplant curry..... oh the joys of cooking and hanging out on a day off. we have started putting up the straw bale walls in the house, which is very exciting. otherwise, life is just cruising along and the time is flying..... before i know it i will be back on the road heading north, wierd. anyway, gotta go now, check in again soon. all my love......

settled in and lovin life

wow, it´s been some time....... but man has it felt good to just check out for a little while. anyway, life here in tunuyan is great. eating fresh from the garden at every meal, hanging out with wonderful people, and constantly doing the good work. most of the time on a daily basis is spent working on the house. we have been mudding walls like crazy people and have made an amazing amount of progress in doing so. recently there has been a lot of bottle art going into the walls, very exciting, and the construction of the straw bale walls is about to begin. i have also been working on doing custom frame and sill work for windshield windows, a job that has been challenging and fun. in the garden we have just begun to do a bit of cover cropping, and are trying to keep up with the harvest by doing a good amount of food preservation including drying and canning. otherwise life is just rolling by filled with beauty every day. i love you all so much and miss you with all of my heart, but damn is it good to be in the middle of summer right now. all of my love...........

ps. my picture situation is pissing me off. i can´t seem to find an easy way to share a lot of pictures in a time efficient manner, so you´ll just have to be patient as i slowly get them to you a few at a time.....

back from the butter

wow, barreal is awesome. amazing little town in the desert with high snowy peaks on one side and sandstone foothills on the other. the town is way laid back and the people are awesome. got really drunk at the campsite, whew, nice every once in a while but it is nice to be going back to the farm for fresh veggies and lots of sleep. the machine i´m on right now doesn´t have an easy access usb and we have to catch the bus back to tunuyan shortly but the pics will be up for yáll to see next time i use the net in tunuyan. all my love.........
ps. rowan i forgot last time, final day count from mexico to tunuyan was 22. also, i´ll let you know about research potentials... i´ll be doing it as well but will have limited internet access. if you have the time it would be awesome if you could look up some info on pressure releases for the hot water side of things.
