blogging from paradise
I’m writing this from ye olde Ecovillage on Gambier Island. We don’t have power or running water, but we have wireless internet, thanks to the Gambier Radio Internet Project and a solar-powered wireless access point. It’s a beautiful sunny day. Five of us are out here doing various prep work for the cob building we’ll be working on in August - digging ditches, stripping the bark off logs, collecting stone for the foundation. I’m on cooking and relaxing duty. It’s great - nearly all the materials that go into the house have been sourced from our land - the main thing we’ve had to import is straw. Also we’ve been collecting used glass jars and bottles to become part of the wall structure. Been feeling pretty good health-wise. The last couple days were a bit yucky, but I feel much better today. Being out here in nature always seems to give me a boost. Life is good!

Hey Keith…
You haven’t posted for a while, and I’ve been wondering how it’s going… I hope all is well with you these days! It sure looks beautiful at the ecovillage.
