Eco-people

Sunday December 18th

The people on this Puna Coast are my kind of people. Eco-people. Heike's word. I like it. They are eating organic. They use rainwater to wash everything. They have composting toilets. They wear recycled clothes - probably tie-dyed. The kids run around naked. Ah yes!

Thermal pools
Waves crashing the cliffs
Lush jungle foliage
Rain, rain, rain. (that's the part that would be hard). You have to always carry am umbrella even if the sun is out because showers can come at any time, and they do...often. But just wait cause they pass. But nothing ever dries out. The only place we found to dry our towels was in the car with the windows rolled up!

So I made a decision today to stay another 3 weeks. It's a bit scary because i'll be alone but I'll be able to do some of the things I couldn't do with Heike. Next big question is how long to keep the car. Hitching and bus are options for getting around. Would have to store my extra gear without the car. Might even go visit another island. Bit scared about all this but also excited. Where will I be on Christmas and New Year's Eve? Only time will tell!
