my arm smells of goat

Yesterday me and Fay, another wwoofer used our free day to take a trip to the close by Tunuyan landmark of Manzano Historico. We did quite a bit of hiking but also made use of friendly passes by to hitch hike back to the pueblo when we got a bit tired and realised we definitely didnt have enough time to make it back in time for the bus! While back in town, we also bumped into some other wwoofers who had moved on. A spanish couple, Tony and Lia and their cute little naked baby daughter L´Arrel (which means root in Catalan) who are now working at a farm with goats and using the milk to make dulce de leche. We went to see the farm and Tony showed us how to milk which a rather interesting experience and reminded me of the SATC episode when Samantha sprays herself in the face with cow milk haha Anyways tomorrow I am off to another farm close by before Fay and I venture on towards Mendoza where we are going to be volunteering at festival in the mountains called Nirvana. It is focusing on permaculture, sustainable living, natural food, yoga, reiki etc as well as having a large array of music acts ranging from electronic to sci trance to chillout. It is set in a peaceful location in the mountains of Cordoba and is hoping to be a no-trace festival by encouraging people to take all their rubbish, bring plates and glasses (to eliminate throw away utensils), not use any soaps/shampoos (biodegradable and friendly products will be available there), as well as composting toilets. Needless to say i am rather excited! I think we will be working in the restaurant while we are there and maybe also in the Smoothie & Chai Bar, pretty ideal one might say. I´ll let you know how it goes!
