So yesterday Katrina shouted something including “bambini” and “baaa” to me across the yard. I have no idea how I understood, but hurried over to where Ales was stooped. He held one hand onto a sheeps collar and the other onto its tail. Meanwhile, the sheep is bleating for dear life, and I notice what can only be described as a 2 year olds snot rocket just dangling there. Yes, out of the sheeps… well… backside. Within the gelatinous mucous I notices two very small hooves… OOH ITS HAVING A BABY!

Ales and Katrin have a goat named halfmoon on the farm. He is quite a character, and my favorite of all the animals because he is the most hardcore. He norts and sneezes when he is mad, and is the total alpha male… trying to be romantic with all the shladies. He always runs with his horns bared towards whatever is near him… always on guard. So hes a hardcore goat, but me, Im twice his size. And i have a long ass bamboo stick. Im sure I can take him in a “to the death” gladiator-battle but my next task his to chain him to a tree. This is way more complicated, and involves distracting him with some food, sneaking up from behind, pretending to pet him, whilst hooking the caribeaner to the rope around his neck.

"If no ones here that would be finnneee," my song in my cabin of the overnight train to Napoli. My feet are cold and dinner was a yogurt, some granola, and a chunk of dark chocolate. Mmmm. I was feeling ... [Continue reading this entry]
