Farm

So been on the farm for three weeks now. The work is knackering but am really enjoying it. Bit of an update on the spider bites, had to drain the venom out of them which hurt like a bastard! Seem to have healed now tho. Then when in the field the other day I pulled a muscle or something when trying to chop down stuff so have been taking it easy the last few days, everyone here has hurt themselves at somepoint, its physical work so have been lots of cuts grazes, strains and accidently walking into a cactus (yeh the last one was me, and yes it hurts!). Went to a rodeo the other weekend which was great, the whole town turned out for it and much tequila was passed round, because we were with Omero the farm foreman everyone insisted we dont pay for drinks which was great! Omero got absolutely whammoed and we had to guide him back to his house which was funny but then he demanded to drive us home. Eventually we convinced him otherwise and then had to walk the 3 ish miles back to the house in the pitch black! Got back with no problems tho, altho Amy telling about how she got robbed at gunpoint in Cambodia kinda set me on edge! Am planning to leave the farm on the 8th os Jan so about two and a half weeks. Im looking forward to christmas here as Lisa is a great cook and has promised a huge turkey, and new year should be fun aswell. When I leave im gonna try and head up to Morelia where there is a huge butterfly sanctuary, and then West to Guanajuato and guadalajara because everyone says its a great city. Have decided to travel overland to Guatemala aswell before going to Costa Rixa, as we had to wwoofers here who said Guat is incredible. Anywho have got the day off so gonna wander through the mercado and try not to make a dick of myself. bye.

Wendy is a little concerned for the wwoofer who copped for sucking out the spider venom, or was it slashed open with a machete, allowed to bleed and sewn up again with organic fibres liberated from a hammock?
Wu feels the pulled muscle is genetic and requires a combination of tai chi and mescal. If successful please pass on the recipe before the end of Feb!

Making a fool of yourself in front of other people is also genetic on Dad's side I believe... :) xx
