Tacomepai organic farm

Just 6k outside Pai is a little organic farm where Dylan and I are staying called Tacomepai. Dylan is leaving to go home in a week on the 28th and I will continue to travel! 

A couple days before we arrive at the farm Dylan and I got sick! Dylan was okay after one night of throwing up but I continued to have belly aches after eating. After six days of not eating and 13 pounds lighter, I decide to go to the hospital. 
We walked with our packs 30 min outside of town to the hospital to learn that the ER takes an hour break for lunch. 
Finally after a whole day of waiting I saw a doctor who gave me magic pills. And BAM I was better. 
 
After our first (and hopefully last) Thai hospital experience we hitch hiked a ride to Tacomepai farm!! 

This is my house! It sits on top bamboo 
On the right is my bathroom. Yes it is super scarry having to pee at night!
 
And this is my view 
It is truly amazing to wake up in a tree! I love it! 

Of corse Dylan has found a puppy. This little pup girl is named Tara. 

I have been doing a lot of cooking and baking every day! It's a challenge to feed 15-30 people three times a day! 
This is a picture of a typical meal on the farm! It's pumpkin/carrot soup with a mixed green salad with a cilantro/garlic dressing.  And homemade bread!!

This is the oven. And the small thing in front of it with the tea kettle on it is the stove! If you want to eat you better be able to make a fire (or have Dylan do it for you!) 

This is a vegan chocolate/carrot cake. With a lime icing that I made. 

I plan to stay on the farm for two more weeks. 
There is a farm close by that is just starting and needs help. So I will say here and ride my bike over there. This will be a better opportunity to learn about permaculture and how to start an organic farm.

More adventure to come!!
