It was a very confusing matter weather there was a job or not and weather I was welcome or not. finily figured that out and ...

ok so Im speaking from the past here hopefully wont confuse you. but.... I did get the job and the bed at the hostel- well I got to sleep in the 15 year olds room while in two days I would get a bed but I did get a job. I took the city bus to the end of the line then they picked me up from there and we went 10min up the hill.

I dont want to sound bitter but I know I will- I was a very bitter person while I was there- I think I just felt like I was getting riped off and I was in the way and they couldnt hadel things.

I stayed at the main house where we used the tv and kitchen. then there was two cabins with 4 people each. small hostel but away from everything.

not sure Im going to say much more then that- I dd meet Kelly and Mark (not a couple I found out) both from england and had been in Barerma for same time as i was (they were just at the YHA which they did like)

when I was at the hostel there was this huge old .... orphange like building (it used to be an orphange) but yeah I found out it is a YWAM base- they do dts's there and debreifing. and they have a farm of sorts. pretty cool.

Moved homes on Dec 8th- kept my job- It was a hard decision because I was like... should I shouldnt I am I steping on peoples toes here. Jill (Bosses wive) was very nice and talked to her neibour where a picker micheal was also stayig and here I am. Its so relaxed and I feel very welcome and Ive made myself at home.

Noleen is 61 (or something like that ) runs her own picture hanging business ad works nights at a nursing home. busy busy. but very generous and welcoming and i really appreachiate that.

these are the cherrie trees and the vally- I think it looks very beautiful

the place is very cool- huge, old, and mom youd love the .... "stuff" that she has- dont get me wrong its not a "nice" place to live- the house is falling apart but I will get what I can take and the fact that Noleens really nice and Im not even a 5min walk from work and ..... Im happy here. AND she and micheal cook for me so Ive had healthy suppers- and really good food.

Micheal is the picker whos also living here and hes a very fun guy, I guess hippy/ gypse would be a good discription of him. Hes very cool, a good cook and has been quite busy so I mostly just see him at work and a few evenings.
