Hello again.
Well more about the farm. It was great to be closer to nature again after so long in the city. The stars were so bright, I could not believe it. And with the smell of the sap in the trees and the crickets... it was great. Dirk's famous maionnese, with lemon and basil. The conversations about an eco-world, and the destruction of this world. The way everyone was so accepting of nature. When we went for a swim in the river, they just stripped off naked... being naked, shitting, all the things that we are "embarrasssed" about in our culture, things that there is no need to be embarrassed about, we accepted and in the open. This was very calming, in fact. I could imagine
that, if I could stay there a good chunk of time, I would come out a very different person.
On the last night, Dirk said he wanted to throw a party to say goodbye. Having lived in Tents, cooked on rocket stoves and having been sparing with every resource, imagine my complete surprise on entering the house of Dirk. He had disco lights, a DJ mixer set, and speakers as big as a wheelbarrow. How SURREAL.
They were Celtics. And Mario's beliefs meant he could not hurt any living thing, including putting nails in trees or sawing live branches.
On the way home we stopped for a big picnic on the side of the road with octopus and lemon biscuts (not together obviously). Senna has declared himself a vegetarian. It was sad to say goodbye, for our "team" to split up.
