I awake at 5 am to the sounds of horns, frogs, chickens.
Then, we garden or paint the mudhouse with cow shit for 4.5 hours.
We eat, we meditate, we chant, we do yoga...covered in mosquito bites.
I wish I had more internet time, sort of. I´m getting used to it all. LIFE IS WONDEROUS.
Oh, the other day we took a stroll to the top of the hill. Watching the golden sun fall below the trees, amongst wild running horses. Then, our man Mario came running up to us and took picture after picture. He had on a little green cap with a burrow of a beard, salt and pepper.
In a week, I´m heading north to Missiones for my farm internship. No electricity, no running water. My airline lost my baggage which included my tent and sleepingbag. Two months in the jungle.
Ciao, for now.
This life is amazing and I could not ask for more. Thank you.

buenos aires!
hello internet world!
arrived in buenos aires about six days ago and MY OH MY, it has been something else outerwordly. UNIVERSAL ES LOCO! (ah, my perfect spanish!)
as i live and breath and yawn and type this, i am patiently awaiting for some fotos to be uploaded on my newly befriended german ladyfriend, Julia, computer...thus, i have no evidence to support my journey. BUT! i am healthy, happy, running on very little sleep, full of the best steak on this earth, and trying to get some sun on my pearly white skin.
the first day consisted of, upon arrival, realizin that the airport lost my luggage that included a sleepingbag and tent for my later stay at the organic farm....boo hoo...hopefully i will get it before then, or hopefully i will get some flight miles so i can travel some more! either way, no biggie. it could be worse, eh? jessica and i miraculously found our way to the hostel without a hitch. we also found that our spanish was pure merde (HORSE SHIT), so we promptly booked a spanish lesson for our second day...argentine spanish is quite different from other countries. it has a distinct italian influence, which i knew pre-arrival, but it becomes all the more apparent once on soil.
we met up with a group the first night for drinks, Julia being part of that group. this girl is a godsend...really funny and really really friendly. actually, most people are really friendly.
i really wish i could post fotos, but it may not happen while i am here. especially because we are going to the ashram on tuesday...but i will try my darndest!
it is after 1am...these Buenos Aires hours are taxing, to say the least. so, i am going to sleep because we have a big sightseeing day tomorrow. buenos noches!
love!
