Our plans continue to come together. We contacted our first farm, located in Uruguay. We were very excited to hear back and I wanted to share the response. This place sounds like it will really be quite an experience. Can you go wrong with a country that has a sunshine on their flag?
"We are very glad you contacted us. And it is nice to know you found our place attractive to work on.
"We live in a very old house which we recycled recently, and also works as a bed and breakfast for tourists in the area. We are very close to Montevideo and Buenos Aires ( 120 km each) so it is a very tempting location for tourists looking to have some peace greenlands, and rest from those big citys. In our 30 hectors we have lots of things to do, and we like to think that every volunteer will be willing to help more in one area than the other… from working in the vegetable garden to helping with the tourists, from construction in ecological techniques, to milking our sheep, from collecting fruit, to making wood, from helping in our homemade organic “Limoncello” factory, to helping with our horses, dogs, hens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and the goats… there are plenty of things to do down here…
"WWOOFERS would be living in another hundred years old house which we are now recycling, located 1800 metres away from the bed and breakfast big house. Me and my family live on a third old house 1200 metres away, so Wwoofers have a lot of independent life in our farm. Where you will be staying, is where we have the goats, some sheeps and horses, a small vegetable garden for your own use, the dairy barn, and the cheese making facilities.. And if you are looking for something more natural, we have two tents waiting to be used when someone asks for. In a few words, there are plenty of things to do, and we are opened to hear what your expectations are at each time.
"As every other wwoof farm, we provide you with the food and accommodation during the period of time you will be helping us. Wwoofers work here from Monday to Saturday, six hours per day."

Sounds like a great place to get started, but I have questions that I think you need to ask:
1. Why are there so many people named Hector on this one farm?
2. Will they require you to change your names to "Hector?"
3. Will all 30 of the Hectors be staying in the same house as you? If so, how will you tell them apart?
I'm also curious about farming dogs. For what purpose?
Sounds like a cool place, though, and I imagine you'll eat like a king. Where to from here?
You have not lived until you have tried dog cheese.

Ay, que emocionante! Uruguay parece como un lugar bien fascinante para empezar tus viajes, pero no recomiendo el queso de los perros. He oido que llegara a ser un perrito si lo come. Deseo pudiera ir contigo. Solo tengo un consejo: Permite a Tracy ser la navegante porque todo el mundo sabe que Adan no puede seguir ni un mapa ni las direcciones... jajaja.
