So, after leaving the farm, I went to a smaller, but more ´focused´farm where there was more work and more to learn about permaculture. Things started off well, but there was always debate on how much food each person was eating. All the volunteers were eating a lot because we were working hard all day, and this upset the managers of the farm. I met some really great people, and learned a bit about building with green materials, composting, humanure, and various aspects of starting and maintaining a small-scale organic farm. It was a great opportunity, but I was happy to be on the road again, traveling to Baños with 3 people from France and one from Quebec. Baños is a town for adventure sport enthusiasts, if you have the money. The first day we were there, we went bungee jumping, swimming in waterfalls, and soaked in the hotsprings at the end of the day. It was an interesting time for me, because as usual, large groups who speak the same language will fall into the easiest one. Unfortunately, that was French, and I can´t speak a word. After a night at a salsa club, where we met up with more people from France and I couldn´t communicate with anyone, I decided to head off on my own to Riobamba and ride the famous Nariz del Diablo (devil´s nose) train. It no longer made it all the way to Riobamba due to rock slides, so i stayed the next night in Alausí. The train ride provided some nice vistas, but as you are no longer able to sit on the roof of the train by president´s decree, it wasn´t all that thrilling. That day, I made it back to Baños to have a soak and sleep. The next morning, today, I met up with Becky and Johnny, a couple from the never land farm. One brit one from Indiana. We had another relaxing day and may meet up with our German friend Nora, another Never Land ex-pat. Hope to be updating more often as I will have more consistent internet access. Love you all.
