un descanso

home for a brief moment. took a few days to settle in, felt settled for maybe 1 day...now preparing to go again. and not just to go, but to travel for 40 hours. i have a nice line up of books and poetry to keep me company, so i will be just fine.
from my previous post about luchita, the woman in chile...here are a few photos of her.





like my fellow traveler i too had a craving for a salad when i first arrived home and
probably have never enjoyed a salad more! the weather has been beautiful since i've been in maine and i've been glad to have a few short days at home to recharge.
on to australia! i leave my house at 5 AM on wednesday and will not arrive at my friend's house until close to 8 pm (our time) thursday evening. it will be 11 am friday in australia. we'll see how my body does! might take a little while to catch up with me. trips to adelaide, kangaroo island, and tasmania planned.

matt, very good to see you. safe travels next week! we'll be in touch with our hi-tech technology!
jeremiah, i have not had much luck on the apartment search. the one i thought i had turned out to be a no-go..one of the girls has changed her plans and is staying in the apartment. i've looked at another one, and talked to a few landlords...but - maybe we can find one together once we're both back? i'm glad that working with yachay wasi is proving to be such a meaningful and nourishing experience!

my next post will come from a land down under!
