Advancement

We had a lady from Scotland stay with us that had a caravan. Her name was Michelle. She helped us advance our place big time by picking up items we could use. We got a official front door for our living area and put it up using her drill. She also came with power tools. Michel is a sculpturist and made a fish out of wire and recycled beer cans. Also a donation of a gas camp stove with a butane tank was left by her. No more 1 to 2 hours of cooking on the fire. Fire cooking is nice n all but very time consuming. We now have a kitchen area made with a recycled door for our counter space and found wood that we made into shelves to store our food. Also a whole cabinet with shelves n such down below to store our cookware n dishes. Moving right uptown now. Even a mop and broom to wash all the floors n tile walls. Now it's feeling like home. We make community dinners and do community shopping. It costs us 5$ per person a week for food. Good deal to live in Paradise for 5$ a week. Can't beat that. Every day we collaborate with ideas and art. New paintings are being done all the time. New friends for life and some just passing through. We advance with the materials that we have and find. Taking some showers by setting a water bottle wrapped in black plastic outside to get hot in the sun. Then poked holes in the lid. One person squeezes it over the other one who's standing in the pool in their bathing suit. No wind in the pool, just hot sunshine and warm water. I still take the 2 euro hot shower in between times. I can live like this as long as I'm clean and my clothes are freshly laundered. Makes me feel civil at least. Each room in the house is turning into a art piece. Fun to see what's next.

  1. WOW you guys! So impressed at your super fun adventure! We are working through changing schools again and finding ways to stay longer...The school thing is a bummer but we are going into a montessori one now, should be much better. If you get to the movies- Captain Fantastic should feel familiar and be inspiring! I loved it.
    Hope to see you around these parts sometime...Un abrazo forte! Christina&Christian and Kodiak in Barcelona.
