After 42 hours of travel time, losing both my luggage, 3 hour of drive and being welcomed by a Llama on the drive way I reached Misty's home at 11pm yesterday. Yes, you read that right! A Llama was waiting for us on the drive way! Poor fellow got out and is roaming about in the neighborhood! Misty and her Dad gave me a very warm welcome and I met her Mom today. They are all so nice to me and I love being around them!
I went to the Farmers Co-op today and saw lots of farm equipment. Craig (Misty's dad) was telling me how expensive farming could get and about all the technologies that they use to farm. It made me think how much Nepal could benefit if the farmers there had access to all these technology. Just as an example we use ox and oxen to plow our fields and it takes forever to even finish up a small portion of the land. The picture below shows you how its done in Nepal. It is so much of manual labor. Only if we had tractors, life would be so much easier and we could harvest so much more than what we do now!
And the equipments here are are huge!!!! Just the tire of the sprayer is taller than me! And it opens up as wide as 80 feet!
I am excited for all the other things that Misty and her family has planned for me! Do come back for more updates!
