the group at joel's place

Going to joel's across the river. He runs a private animal sanctuary, and we helped him build a shelter.

Also, this is almost our complete group. Gives you a sense of the bonds that we hope to keep after our time here...

I'll Repeat: Excellent.

dacha by night

Farmhouse, October 1, 2009


Today was excellent. The sun cam out near the end of the morning, and the blue skies stayed out all day long. We took the dogs out for another romp today on the grass, and played fetch. We set up the volleyball net and played around a little. Matt and I got far too excited about our plans for the Just Desserts Dinner, where dinner would be an array of delicious and beautifully crafted desserts—and nothing else! And we baked pumpkin bars with an extreme amount of homemade caramel on top, and tried to build sugar sculptures with a blowtorch.


= Excellent day.


By the way, here are some links to Patch Adams’ book “Gesundheit!”, the Gesundheit! Institute wiki page, and my Flickr page, where you can see many more pictures from the time here. Also there are pictures there from this summer as well—the first time I came here.

one of the scarce sunny days we have had. The dacha and the farmhouse.

This is where I sleep and dream. And that door only comes up to the middle of my chest...tiny! It's a wonderful place to fall asleep.

the beautiful dacha, and this is the top room with eight beds in it.
