We've had a fun week.
On Saturday Mike and Yemaya had a gig in Salitrales, a nearby community. By the time we had to leave it was dark and had been raining pretty heavily. It was a harrowing adventure. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or scream in fear, so I did both:) It was dark, so luckily we couldn't see the scary cliffs or landslide areas, but the road was crazy and we were expecting a hill to fall on us at any moment. At one point there was a waterfall into the road. And to top it off the headlights kept going out. It was like a ride at Disneyland only minus the feeling of security of knowing it's all staged. But we got to the show in one piece and it went great! It's always an adventure out here and we wouldn't trade it for anything, even if it's scary sometimes.
Right now we're house-sitting at our friend Dominic's. He has a nice open air place with a great view. I wanted to do some walking around the property but I don't have safe shoes. I was startled by a small snake while I was walking around and decided to be safe. Supposedly there are a lot of baby Fur de Lances in the area right now, and these snakes are extra dangerous as the babies don't know how to control how much venom they put out when they bite. So, I'm not taking any chances. But it's nice and tranquilo here, Pura Vida.
Other than that we've been up to our usual things, mostly working on the farm, teaching at the school, hanging out with the various folks who stop by, and living our lives. Good stuff!
