Killo´s Turn for a Leg Injury

Dear Sara and Jake,
Yes, we need help in October. Yes, yes yes yes yes. My partner has just had an accident and cannot walk or be mobile for several weeks! He stepped backwards on a construction site and a piece of tin severed his achilles tendon. He got home from the hospital 2 hours ago, home to an apartment in Vilcabamba as we cannot transport him home to the farm at least until stitches come out and he can handle crutches. Even then getting to the farm is gonna be a bitch.
I will be double timing it from farm to town a lot. Andres, our partner in the farm, will be there. He knows everything. But the bottom line is it will be very difficult for him to manage to DO it all. Currently we have a couple from Australia who arrived the day I ran of into the night to go to the hospital, Wednesday. They have the new baby goat we got, great timing, Wednesday, and are trying to train him to the goat we already had as his mother became dinner somewhere. She, the baby goat, Mini Component is her name, is gonna keep the two of them busy for a bit. Ben Wwoofer is working on the weed management with the local guys, who will not have work with us after this week until my partner and I are home. and so on!
Its not so bad, the farm life is tranquil and nice. The only thing missing is I am not cooking, but everyone else is. Which means four and five star lunches and dinners, with lots of variety.
But yes, we could use some help. So come anytime. I just updated our blog page, chirusco.tripod.com no www. Not much has changed except Killo and I will not be home much until mid October, and even then he will be on crutches. Let us know your plans, I will be checking the internet more often, as I will be in town more often! I am gonna post this letter on our Blog now as well! Peace, Happy and safe travels and Lik Yer Plate (but not in the bus terminal)! Tina

Hey Tina and Kilo~
Sorry to hear about the injury. I wish you a speedy recovery! Tina, i have read a lot of the posts here and just wanted to say hello. Rosanne and i have been looking into Ecuador since our last email. We likely would not be able to come down for another good 9 to 12 months. We are thinking about it.
Peace Creek
