so much dirty farm poo love

ok ok, havent posted for a while, and that last one was just to put something up. so i will blog while my pics are uploading to myspace (so those of you with m.s., check em out!!!!)
so, we have left patagonia :(
but have made it to the farm in Uruguay :)
Patagonia was amazing. Two of my favorite places we have been were in Patagonia. By far my favorite place was Bariloche. It is gorgeous and we stayed at the best hostel ever. The people were great, bfast was good, and the panoramic view of the lake and snow capped peaks from the balcony could take your breath away!
After that we went to hippy town argentina aka El bolson, and hiked up a mountain to a Refugio and stayed there for the night playing cards, running around in the dark and drinking their home brewed beer! all in all, pretty sweet.
Next we went to The Glacier Puerto Moreno, which is huge, beautiful, and millions of years old. Also its the only glacier that is exponentially growing. We not only took a boat ride to see it, but got to walk on it in crazy snow shoes, drank whisky on the rocks(glacier rocks), and saw a piece the size of a building fall off! Glaciers are my new favorite things ive decided.
first its was waterfalls, but now its glaciers.
We made it to the tip of the world ( croosing 4 border crossings, in and out of chile and argentina) and crossed the straight of magellan( i feel like a true explorer, now all i have to do is find some natives to slaughter and it will be real) (jk, thats awful, but thats what happened).
The tip, was...interesting, looked like middle earth from lord of the rings. we got stuck there for days and had to make the 12 hour journey of bordercrossings on the travel day from hell= no sleep, bus, wait 3 hours, plane, wait, ferry, bus
the finally to the FARM!!!!!
my god it took long enough!!!
but we are here in the fickly weathered Uruguay.
today was our first day, we overslept (cause i left my alarmclock on a rest. table the day before, go figure, had it the whole time till now, when we need it :)
then we cleaned up goat poop for a while, then cleaned the cute little wwoofer house we are staying in! seriously look as though it hadnt been deep cleaned for DAYS!
now we are in town getting provisions for the next two weeks!
then we get to start with the real farm work (gardening, paintng, construction, milking, making cheese, yogurt, butter) the works.
there is even a little farm puupy named pànda.....so cute
well this might be my last contact to everyone for a while
so ilove you
i am safe
happy
tired and
basically a big deal
so much dirty farm poo love,
bobina
