And I still haven´t talked about food. We have black beans for every meal. I met Santiago, whose job it is to burn stuff all day long. I couldn´t understand most of what he said, but I think the grass next to the burn pile (that look like seedless corn) is for the cows that produce our milk, yogurt, and I think cheese (like a hard dry feta).
They make the juice for lunch and dinner, a really light sweet pinapple-y juice. Tortillas are more of a utensil than a food. They make their own ameal (honey). When I asked, ¨who makes the honey?¨ I got a 5 minute answer about how bees make honey. I just said, ¨oh¨ so Matia Roberto probably thinks that we don´t have bees in MN. I need to keep an eye out for avacados, I know they are here somewhere since the abbot gets one delivered to him every dinner. They don´t quite have the sweets we do, so Phil and I walked to the grocery store to pick up some cookies. I am still hoarding my supply of monster cookies mom sent with me- youŕe a lifesaver mom.
If you want to send me a letter- or monster cookies- my address is
