Today-

Today was pretty nice. Eloise and I hung out for a while around the studio waiting for Kathryn to come back from St Thomas sans Stephen. She didn't show, so we went up to the farm with our friend Bart for a while. We picked a ton of spinach and arugula (everything that hadn't been totally devoured by bugs), and then came home. Bart proposed a dinner party at his place, so we agreed to come over a little later. When we arrived home, the WWOOFer girls had already started cooking ahuge family meal for everyone. We tried to get a hold of Bart to reschedule, but we never could reach him, so we ended up eating two HUGE dinners. First we had chicken tacos, and then we had homemade pizzas and cheesecake. Bart, his girlfriend Keira, and our new WWOOFer Louis live in this architect's house for free on tortola. He has the most amazingly eclectic and weird house. Tomorrow we head to Virgin Gorda for a night of pampering (by pampering I mean sleeping inside, in a bed) at Biras Creek Resort. We are so excited to pretend like we don't live in tents for a while, and get dressed up for a nice dinner. I'll keep you updated, and maybe post some pictures soon!

Catching up

Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't even written since I've been here yet! We have been pretty busy with farming and sailing and all that. So far I have been to the farm four or five times. It is a long hitch/walk away, but the view is so well worth it. Aragorn has a beatiful house perched on a super steep hill over the ocean, and the farm is mostly trellised along the hills. We have been planting bok choi, weeding a ton, and picking arugula and spinach to sell at the studio.
Other than that, things around Trellis Bay have been pretty quiet. We have been sailing a lot with our friend Alex, and his dad Tod. Alex has basically grown up in Trellis Bay, and him and Tod live on a 39 foot Corbin. This weekend, they took us sailing. On Friday night we sailed to Salt Island, which is a tiny, uninhabited, very spooky place. There used to be a salt mine on the island, because most of it is comprised of a huge salt pond. Then we sailed to Norman Island, which is owned by none other than Eugene Jarecki (how funny is that!) and hung out and watched a steel drum band. This morning we woked up and sailed over to Virgin Gorda to go to the Baths for my first time. The baths are these HUGE boulders that you can swim through and around. It was really cool. Now we are all back at Trellis, and tonight we are taking Stephen out to dinner.

Will keep you posted,
