Day 78

So today we were so tired, could barely get up, sore from hiking yesterday. It was bagel Sunday but mine was very freezer burnt and tasted gross. For work I cleaned a room and painted. I accidentally walked in on Marianna changing because I was trying to get Batman out of the house, but it wasn’t that big of deal. Reiner also started squirting me with a squirt gun because I always threaten him when I water the plants with the hose, now I have perfect reason to actually attack, yay! Then I went and helped Jeremiah paint the porch. Reiner and Marianna went to the beach to a lunch party at noon so we were the only ones home. We decided to go to the beach and hitched in with a nice couple from Portland Oregon, it’s calling us home! On our walk in we saw our lovely hosts at Harold’s (a good friend who lives at Kee’I) eating, we waved hello and went to the beach. It was hot hot hot and the ocean was refreshing, but eventually the clouds covered the sun and we started walking back. So we always pass the stone wall which separates the beach access from the people who live there and today we crossed it. Harold must have seen us wave when we went in because he beckoned us to come join as we were headed home. It was so cool. There were a lot of their older friends from new years there and Ackaka ( the guy whose property Sabine (not spelled Sabina as I thought) took us too to get fruit and see the cat). It was good food and then a ukulele, guitar, accordion trio serenaded us. It was so awesome. Akcaka is the epitome of cute old German man. He played the accordion with unabashed gusto and belted those hokey German tunes with a smile. It was so much fun! Then we had our ride home with Marianna and Reiner. It was an unexpected and amazing surprise. I hope the rest of our two weeks here continue this way. So we got home and we’re still hungry and made mac n’ cheese wit two year aged Irish cheese we had gotten earlier in the week, garlic, veggies, and a lovely salad. Marianna also gave me a nice bottle of wine earlier, it was a good dinner. We watched TV and it was a MSNBC marathon on sex trafficking. It was shocking because I accept that yeah in other countries that happens, but this was all about in the United States. The more I learn and see the more I think this horrifying part of the world we live in is a passion of mine. I am disgusted and I feel like I couldn’t be happier with how my life ends up going if it was to stop this. I don’t really see myself in law enforcement, but those seem to be the only people who can really get in and do something. I just, I don’t know, it’s always heavy on my mind. It seems like of all the poverty, hunger, genocide type situations, war, this is the one thing I feel is the worst, and it connects to everything else to. I mean the whole Monsanto monopolizing food and our health is bad, disease, and corrupt government. But I feel free will and ones own future, comfort, sanity, life, is so much bigger. It just makes me sick and angry and I can’t let it go and I always hear more and more about it, But yeah, a good day for sure over all. Oh and me and Rachel are on somewhat civil speaking terms now so that’s good, but she leaves in five days anyway so whatever. Oh there was a whole cheese debacle with the Dutch women who was here last week. I am keeper of the jungle kitchen and she left a bag in the jungle kitchen fridge for two weeks. They had left for several days and come back so I didn’t think it was anyone’s. Luckily I had put it in our fridge until I was sure, and good thing because she really needed, wanted it to give to someone. I felt bad for meddling with guests’ stuff and worried I would be looked down on and to blame. Marianna and Reiner were both on my side though and said yeah that’s crazy, how long did she think se could keep that here without being here as a guest, so all was okay.
