So I made it safely to Maui yesterday, and when I arrived we headed straight to the beach where everyone else working at the farm was enjoying the sunshine. (Apparently it's been raining a lot, but it's beautiful out!) Then everyone went into Paia, one of the closer towns for margaritas and grocery shopping. Ahh organic grocery store - I was in heaven.
As for the place: I have my own bamboo cottage in the woods with a big bed, tons of shelves, and I can hear the waterfall from here! It's so beautiful and amazing, and I've hardly had a chance to explore. We had our first meeting this morning, so I've met everyone and got a garden assignment. Apart from maintaining the guest accomodations, I'll also be taking care of the garden near my cottage that already has lettuce, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes, plus some herbs. And, my favorite, is there are pineapples! I'm going to grow freakin pineapples - how sweet is that?!
Other exciting news - Kutira (the lady in charge) is getting 12 chickens for the farm! It's her first time raising animals, so we are all going to learn together. But we'll have fresh eggs and new friends - I'm pumped :)
Anyways, from what I hear this is going to be such an amazing experience living here. Raphael, Kutira's husband has a weekly class on Tuesday night that I'll be going to tomorrow. I'm not exactly sure what this entails, something about spirituality or something? I'll learn soon. And there are yoga classes a few times a week that I'm excited to check out. Today I'm starting work, and figuring out where the heck everything is. I'll post photos & stories soon, but just know this place is amazing and I feel so incredibly blessed to have this opportunity. I think this is going to be an awesome chance to grow and learn. What a cool chapter of my life I have just entered.
