Well, there's not much new here, but I figured it was about time for an update. I've been working in the compost, with a couple of breaks to work on the website for the ranch. Check out the photo gallery on Thursday - I've been updating it and the new stuff will probably go up on Thursday or Friday. Tomorrow is my day off, so I'm chilling with a beer right now. I was thinking about going to Fortuna tonight, but it's a bit of a pain, so I might just hang out here. Tomorrow, I'm going to chill, maybe go horseback riding, and watch Costa Rica play the US in soccer. I'm excited to sleep in and order breakfast off the menu!
I definitely need more clothes than I brought! Mine are getting filthy and wet, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that. I did a really good job of paring down my clothing before I left, and now I wish I had brought a few more things. It's been raining a lot, but it's kind of like New Mexico. It will rain for 2 hours, then be sunny and hot, the rain again...and so on.
I'm extremely happy! I really like it here - I like the people and the work, and I'm really content. I've got a good rhythm going on. My Spanish is getting quite good too. I think I'm going to leave at the end of the month, but I think I'm going to come back here, probably after I go up towards Guatemala and back. So, if anyone is interested in checking this place out, I think I'll be back here, either in December or January for a couple more weeks. I need to talk to the boss and see if that's okay. I'll try to narrow it down a little more soon :)
Hope everyone is well!
Love,
Aura

Aura's Travel Blog! I'm currently farming in upstate New York. Past trips include Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Argentina, Australia, Mexico, and Alaska. This blog contains stories from my travels, pictures, and general ruminations about life. I change my mind a lot and try not to take myself too seriously, so you shouldn't either! That being said, I love to read comments on my posts.

About Me
- Aura...
- This started out as a travel blog, and in a way, I guess it still is. I resurrect it every year or so when I start some new adventure. This time it's an apprenticeship outside of Ithaca, NY on a sheep dairy and draft horse farm. Happy reading!
