Sadahana Forest

Currently sitting in an internet cafe in the Domincan Republic. The guy next to me is looking at porn. Cool. 
We are going to camp out on the beach tonight, and have our day off tomorrow.
Sadhana Forest is quite interesting. Its 100% vegan hippie central. A few nights ago we had a chanting circle. Good times.
We wake up at 5am go out into the community and basically build these mounds and mulch them and water them to get the soil ready for planting on Saturday. we do that until about 12pm and then eat lunch take a nap etc. And then we either go to the beach or we listen in on discussions they are having at the base.
Two major things have happened.
1. I got sick sick yesterday. It was wretched. Either food poisoning or something equally upsetting. The toilet system here is 10x worse than in Port' au prince. Its squating and bum washing. Toilet paper please. So being sick in the southern region of my body this past week has been an unusual experience.
2. Trantulas. HUGE trantulas. Peeing my pants I´m so scared. They are over the base, usually only come out at night. But still. Apparently Steph went into her tent to grab her flashlight and one was crawling on the outside of her tent. I¨m not okay with this. Wretched.
3. Its funny how spoiled I was in port au prince and didn´t even realize it. It was also weird that on my first night here at Sadhana I was homesick, but for my port au prince home. Interesting right
side note computer doesn´t work well so if my grammer or whatnot is off don´t blame me its the dumb buttons.
 
Pushing my boundaries everyday. Greatful for such an amazing experience.
Love you all. See you in three and a half.
