me mataste

last dinner on the farm. from the left, matias, dante, nano and rosa.
dante! lounging at the river, very pleased with himself after stealing matias' bag of candy. also sporting my favorite dante sumo wrestler pony tail
me and ritmo, my favorite dog. her name is ritmo (rhythm) because she has this constant twitch, always keepin the beat. she accompanied me on my ventures into the forest to collect fence wood.


rory and dec (they are going to kill me when they find out that i posted this. but it's just so darn cute)
group photos!!!





me, angie, clara, maru












clara and angie filling bottles of plum liquour.









as if nano weren't cool enough, he is also a tattoo artist. here are a few pics of him in what became an evening activity of tattooing in the living room. he did five tattoos while i was there on the farm volunteers, etc. deep sigh of relief mom and dad, although i thought seriously of getting another, i decided against it. mei, if you had been there you know it would have been game on.

so those are some parting shots of the farm. i'm going to miss it so much. a place where people walk up the path, coming from different places for different reasons, and all sitting down at the dinner table to make a farm family for a day or two, and if you're lucky, maybe even a whole week.

dirty barefeet, nano at work on a latest tattoo, cleaning garlic in sunny patches of grass, hazy sunlight in the living room late afternoon, pigs trying to catch food mid-air, huevos verdes con jamon, oreos for breakfast, que voluda, picking peas plums raspberries, ritmo keeping the beat and good company, kittens in the feed shed, frisbee by the river, eating homemade ice cream in the 'park' grassy hill overlooking town, mate from a little red cup, diquiririrriris, river walking, ¡te mato!, poker night...drinking night, sleeping dante, lazy afternoons in hammocks, los simpsons, walking back from town in moonlight, cutting bottles, nano making fun of me and never understanding a word, reading between the lines, membrillo, ciruela, one liners.
