First the pigs... in this village pigs are everywhere. The bizarre thing is that they all just wander around in little pig heard, especially the little ones..kinda like a little pig gang and at the end of the day they all just go home. They know where they live and all the villagers know whos is whos. I learned that pigs are fast, very fast, I learned they can jump, in fact I saw a very large pig leap up and over a well that was almost 3 feet high. Amazing. Oh and this applies to the cows, the horses and the chickens. Animals everywhere!
We are certainly surrounded by beauty. It's everywhere. I especially like the area we are building... the views are amazing. It's funny though, villagers don't seem to care too much. Each house has porch but no one wants their porch to face the sprawling view... it's about practicality and being close to where they cook. I guess that makes sense. Getting down to these homes was wild. As Matt posted it was straight down... wow.
Anyway, the people here are certainly coming together. Many people that are helping build had to hike up this path so it's pretty cool to see them working together. We expect this community to come together more and more as new homes are built. It's very cool to be part of something like this, something just getting off the ground in this area.
