Just loved these barstools at a pulperia on-route

Eat an empagnana (sp?) on this.... lifeis good

Original farmhouse, my room upperright this pic

Best bed in the world. The spiders told me so

My room and the guitar/ukelele practise corner

View from the container house

Room with a view. The bathroom looks out over jungle

There's a pee toilet. Did u know its good to process no1 and no2 separately?

Outdoor shower... another room with a view

Machete. Don't leave home without, serious snake country

Drying a local root potatocrop for flour making

Flour, ground coffee, dosa mix don't come in bags, gotta grind them manually.

Aia cooking dosa for second breakfast,...

Dosa made with rice AND beans, a madly addictive and filling veggie option with costa rican overtones

We call it wandering jew in ZA, who knew its great for insect bite itch....? Crush and apply

Pool looks amazing most of the time, but no chemicals means cleanout every 2 weeks

X butterfly

Applying cob

Mixing cob (clay and straw) for building

Glass bottle bottom for natural light in cob room

Drying red hibiscus flowers for tinctures

Nothing wasted, drying hibiscus pods for seeds after removing flowers

This is how you get sugar for themorning coffee,ain't no sweetener dispensors out here. NIgel, Chelsea, Aia

Cane syrup boiling down to thicken

Bees loved the cane syrup too

Verdenergia finca is ALL about food. This is a yoghurt, chili, avocado dressing we should patent, but made of leftovers so no recipe

The last of the gremlins

The local pulperia (cafe/pub/supermarket) - note hill with weird fir-tree haircut

Chopa the finca pet, having ELEVEN puppies (Cat recorded markings as they came out for the legal inheritance side of things....)

World class entertainment from Nicole

House front view. Mayus horse.
