I completely lost track of time and did not finish that last post. I went out to lunch Saturday with my family (same pizza place as always, there is a lunch buffet thing...) and came home to fall asleep...then we went to my host father's families farm for the rest of the weekend.
I felt SO good being out of the city. To me, a farm is more like home than a city, however small it may be. No, I have never lived on one. My uncle does though, and I live in well, the farm-y parts of Clifton Park anyway. I'm used to grass and animals, not pavement and dying dogs/malnourished horses....those are not animals I like to see. I noticed even more this past weekend how huge the gap in classes is here.
It was nice to see a family farm. They have their employees living on site, in houses and they work the land I guess. I knew it was going to be a good day because the first thing I saw when I got out of the car was a bunch of little piglets :D Though at the barbecue the next day they ate their father I think...Pretty gross...though they held off from the traditional pig roast with the apple in the mouth, that baby Jesus.
I did a lot of eating and sleeping, a little talking....and well I ate my weight in Brigadero....it's a Brazilian candy that is impossible NOT to come by. It's at every special event I guess. Tons of it. And other candies there too. I ate my weight in all of it. It was good, but I need to go to the gym...
