Day 15

I slept in till around 9:30 (which is sleeping in to me now).  We had met a goat farmer at the market a week ago and had arranged to visit her farm, where she makes soap, and her husband makes cheese.  It was a short drive out of the city and soon enough we were in the blessed country.  
  Their farm is absolutely gorgeous is reminded me of a grape vineyard in Tuscany, just the way it was so beautifully landscaped. We had a tour of her goats and got to see some of her other animals.  She also has horses and pigs (piglets were the cutest things ever...Oh My Word).  
  We sat down and had a lovely lunch with some of her husbands cheeses, which are absolutely divine.  We had a lovely talk and afterwards started to make soap.  We showed her a few tricks of soap making and it was an amazing day.  
  It felt so good to be in the country again, we all really needed to breath for a bit.  We drove home with goat's milk and felt completely at home.
  That evening we walked to the mall and got groceries.  I was sunburnt, smelling of goats, and couldn't have been happier.
