I’ve spent a month and a half here in Costa Rica, plans changed and I’m staying here with Mayapurcandra (see the wrestling pic), setting the place up and overseeing the construction of cabins. We have a local caonstruction crew here, a lot of young guys, and it’s so funny how they try to be westeners and I can see how in their generation they are breaking out of the age old traditions, and here we are, a bnch of westerners, trying to live a more rural, simpler life, milking cows and riding horses, whilst their youth are buying iPods, spending their little savings in Burger King and watching The Simpsons on Saturdays.
We bought a cow as well and planted a variety of fruit trees, rice, beans and corn. I love this lifestyle. It might be a lot of work, but what else would I do with my “freetime”? Watch The Simpsons on Saturdays and spend my little savings in Burger King?
