September 20th
This morning Rico and I went out to Shama's place (a friend of Bobbi- our host at the eco-resort). Shama has over 100 hundred acres of farmland, mostly organic. She wants to create forests for harvesting wood sustainably as well as forests for the monkeys. She is also interested in creating a small permaculture community of teachers and students with residencies on her site, as well as a learning center for ancient Indian art traditions. Rico accepted the design project.
We ate lunch at Shama's, and she drove us to her boutique, where she sells handwoven baskets, blankets and bags. A cute store, Rico bought a few bags as gifts and after we were brought back to the resort.
Later in the evening I watched a tv series called 'the Pack' with Ameli. The pack is a wildlife documentary about the wild dogs in India. It was made for Animal Planet, and we actually had the opportunity to meet the producers of the show! Because they are good friends with Bobbi and Bobbi has a home in the wildlife reserve where the documentary was filmed, which we will all be going to next week. Pretty excited :)
