And another post. 35 days and counting

At least, at this farm.
Figured I'd give another quick update while I'm online and since I actually wrote the last post 4 days ago.  Kidney infection seems to be all gone, though I'll continue my meds like I should.  I'm writing this with hands stained yellow and orange from peeling and grating turmeric all morning.  I hear they wil stay this color for 3-4 days. Ha!
Kidneys are all better, I'm happy to report, so in the next week or so I should be able to learn a good portion of the chores and get into the swing of things here at the farm.  Can't wait until the first time I get to deal with the composting toilet (see "bucket").  Not really.
I am sleeping *so much* here!  I often nap mid-day, and I'm ready for bed by 8 or 9pm.  I suspect it has something to do with the heat, so maybe I'll get more energy as I adjust.
Didn't get the chance to upload pictures, but I will next time, I swear.  There's so very much green!  I have to remember that you all don't need to see endless pictures of green hills.... :-)
My room is soon to be full, so five people in it, but I think it will be an all girls room then, which should be fun.  Very much liking my three gal roommates, Robin, Tosca, and Sioned.  Not that I don't like the guy, but he took a vow or something to only speak Spanish this month, and he doesn't speak it well, nor do I understand it well, so there isn't a lot of communicating going on. :-)
Having a good (and very hot!  Lord almighty the heat...) time.
A little sad, because my lack of funds means I'm really going to be tied to the farms where I'm staying.  I feel like I'm going to be in this country for 3 months and not get to see any of the culture, or parks, or beaches... :-(
But mostly, I'm happy to be experiencing something totally new, and I'm happy to be learning new skills, and a new way of living (not one I imagine I'll continue later, but it may impact some of my choices down the line), and happy to be meeting new people!
Anyway, miss you all!  And thank you bunches for the comments on past posts, I really appreciate them!  They made me smile when I got to read them today, so keep it up!
