Finca Log 240410. Our mission, to boldly go where God has led us and to discover ways of living that will sustain us and challenge our modern mindsets of comfort . . .Last night the power went out, then on, then out, then on, then . . . . well you get the idea. Needless to say this morning it was off and we were out of electricity and water. Since the water is on a pump system and the pump is powered by electricity we are without bathing, toilet, and drinking water. It is only our sixth day on the farm and already we're getting the full experience. We decided to do some exploring in hopes of returning to power but first had to change another flat tire. That makes 2 in three months. Not bad, at least we had a spare that wasn't flat or bald this time. We're still driving the rental so that explains why.
We ate at this small cafe with all sorts of glass working windows, frames and flooring. It was a special gem discovery and breakfast was delicious. I don't know what it is but every time I eat beans and rice at a restaurant it has so much flavor but when I cook them, nothing. Just blah. I need to discover the secret, perhaps sneak into the kitchen behind the cat and spy on the cook. It is probably something I shouldn't' be eating which is what makes it so good. Either way I'd like to know.
Now the power is back on but the pump system is not working so still no water. God has blessed us with being close to the beach so we can always go and rinse off if we get too grimy. We might do that later today. So that's the update from the Finca . . .
Is there ability to dig a well that wouldn't run on electricity? When I lived in Tennessee, I think that's what I had. I lost power a few times and I don't remember losing water too!
ReplyDeleteWell I hope it comes on and stays on! At least there's no formula to be mixed and heated! :)
