New land project

For the past week I have been staying at a farm called the new land project. I am still in pai about 3k from the Tacomepai. 

This is my house.


This is my Mortorbike named Lucy

Everyday there is work to be done around the farm. 
Every morning I wake up and ride this bike:
The bike pumps water into the filtration system, shower or storage tank. 

The well is on the right and the water filtration system on the left. 

The five star shower:

I normally pump into the storage tank so we have water to give to the baby plants in the nursery. 

Storage tank:

Every morning and afternoon we have to water the garden beds. 
This is the butteryfly garden: (That we made a couple weeks ago) 

That garden use to be a thick jungle, like this:

We do a lot of other "chores" or projects on the farm. 
One day we cleaned out the water filtration system. This job consits of taking everything out of the tank and then  reassembling it. There was layers of rock, sand, charcoal and ash. This is a picture of olly cleaning the rocks! 


This is a picture of the bamboo bathroom we made. 

One day a local badass names Pi dee came to help us build the walls of a house. 
While we were out in the jungle cutting bamboo. My machete slipped and I cut my thumb. We were 35 min away from home so Pi dee made me a bandage out of a special weed that stops bleeding and wrapped it with bamboo. 





On my birthday a couple days ago we all went to the natural hot springs then to get vegan cake! 



More adventures to come!
