Notes from the Mango Farm 9 of 10

This is the last note from my journal on the mango farm. The next post will just be photos. Hopefully I was able to successfully share with you what life on the farm was like and also give some different perspectives.

Day 12

Today's the last day of the mango season, which is fine by me because my arm is freaking itchy as hell.

I like this lifestyle, it's simple, it's pure. It's a microcosm of society, except in this society, everyone's pretty cool.

But I long for the city, for internet, for fast food.

I've learned so much here, from this place I've gained confidence in being able to take care of myself and also Trish.

Tomorrow morning I'm off to the city! I'll reunite with my partner (that's the term they use here for boyfriend/girlfriend) and start making plans for the trip to Alice Springs.

Excited.
