very close to nature

hello every one

so at the farm we are experiencing all kinds of great things. I dont know how to upload pics very well and shrink them and all that stuff so they look right but I have a couple up I think. anyway we have plated crops and learned about composting our poop and we have done alot of exploring of the property. The 1st night at the farm it rained like freakin crazy and everything got wet. The river swelled up to 3 times its regular size which was awsome. Mostly we are living very simply and learning how to maintain a natural system as we live in it. there are 2 dogs a cow a calf a cat 10 or so chickens. The property is about 80 acres with two rivers flowing through it. there are all kinds of crops. We tried Yerba Mate for the first time ( its just like a tea) and we poop in a bucket in the tool shed and then cover it with saw dusts. sweet right! also earlyer today we found the waterfall on the property .. mama roja falls estas muy muy belisma. standing under it is like a religous experience. we are kinda learning some espanol but every one speaks Engles here so it makes it harder to learn. there are 6 other interns from all over the world and Kim and Marcelo are super awsome people with a wealth of knowledge on permiculture and much more.

hopefully I will figure out how to post more pictures in a different format or something but untill then I guess I have to discribe every thing. O and we saw a Coral snake in one of the fields it was awsome. I wish you all could be here with me to experience that is this place

much love from jake and ashley
