Today, is my day of our 6 week experiment of living on a farm in Medellin, Colombia.

After a typical breakfast , of arepa with cheese and a delicious coffee & fruit, we drove up to the farm — around and hour and a half away from the city.

Along the way up we were greeted by the sight of stunning mountains, capped with clouds. I see the mountains almost like wild animals that the locals domesticate and put a saddle on top of … or, more plainly, roads, so we can ride on their backs.

Since it can be warm and we intend to work on the farm, we stopped to buy sleeves to protect our arms from too much sun exposure or mosquitoes.

At the farm entrance, we were greeted with this glorious sight — freshly-painted gate and blooming flowers.

Since last I was here, 6 months ago, our little farm house has come a long way, so that now we can spend the night: with functional bathrooms and a little kitchenette.

We laid out our groceries for the week and sat down for our first lunch… exciting!

As we were sitting outside, enjoying the scenic view and pure mountain air, we saw an eagle land on a nearby tree 🦅

I hope you enjoyed this virtual tour of our new home/life experiment and that you will tune in for future updates as we explore farm living 🤗

That’s a beautiful farm
Those arm sleeves are a great idea to keep the mosquitoes away

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Love this description! The mountains here in Oaxaca are very undomesticated, at least in my area. Lots of cacti and other not-so-friendly plants.

Oh, it's also a wild, wild world here in Colombia. This morning, as I was breakfasting, I saw an eagle snacking on a snake, nearby, and there are snails the size of small chickens. I picked up the giant snail in wonder, only to learn (from the locals) that it was poisonous!

Small price to pay, if you ask me, for the splendors of nature. Enjoy Oaxaca, @katiecat1111
and be careful!
