OUR PARTY

RAMADAN

 

It's my first time in life to try Ramadan. Today is second day. I feel very good, except that it's very hard to think about anything else besides food and water! I'm trying to keep myself busy with my projects, cleaning or learning, but the pictures of creamy pasta and crusty pizza keep coming to my mind. 
 My head never aches, but now because of the lack of water, it started to slightly ache. I sinned and drank water today, because I felt the blackout coming. I think my body needs some water, I don't want to harm myself. 
 Almost every other volunteer in our house is taking part of Ramadan, others have the headache, too.

Anyway, very cool experience!

DRAWINGS

 Instead of using pictures downloaded from internet for our Instagram page, I drew them. 

AARON

 He's name is Aaron, he's the best dog in the world! (All the dogs are the best.)

PLURAL OF SHEEP IS SHEEP

 

You can't see it from this video, but this guy in a car was casually taking his sheep for a walk. Just to eat nearby. I have never seen that sheep can follow a car so decently! 

CLAPPIDY CLAP

Easter is soon and usually it's a national holiday and people don't go to work. Us, volunteers, don't have to work either. We wanted to work on these days and use our holidays when we are not in red zone anymore. (We live in a world of pandemic, red zone means that you should stay at home as much as possible.) 
We asked if we can have our holidays later. Organization gave us a challenge - if we are able to learn this clapping exercise, we can have our holiday later. This is the result.

LE AROMATICHE DI GIRAFI

Part of my project is to grow plants. We have the chance to use the farmland of  Le Aromatiche di Girafi. Link to their website.

Yesterday was my first time to go visit. I was shocked when I arrived. It's enormous wonderland! Highest point of Mussomeli and 360 degrees view of the landscapes.

There's a 1000 years old winemaking device. This was used like this - the bigger pit was filled with grapes and people were stomping on them to press the juice out. The smaller pit which in this picture is filled with water, was filled with grape juice and after some fermentation process the wine was ready.
