The back yard at Haridav and Guruvatis house, our view at meal times
Hiking up to Mt. Arthur, it reminded us of the Olympic Rainforest, only not as dense with moss and a bit more dry and we drove most of the way up the mountain, walked a bit to the scenic points

Look Mom, I'm close to the edge!

4 of the 5 photos are from the hike up to Mt. Arthur. One of the girls living in the community (there are 4 families/couples living on this small bit of land) was nice enough to drive us up (about a 30 min drive up the mountain) where we then walked/hiked another 90 min and made it about an hour from the top (that was too far for us/me). The views were pretty spectacular from where we did make it, as you can see.
Our wwoofing duties were painting the meditation room as they were preparing for a meditation retreat the following week. There were to be 25 people staying in the houses and camping out with classes and meals provided for the 6-day retreat (at a rediculously low price of $160 all inclusive....so in US dollars that's about $80). If we had more time we probably would have just stayed for the retreat! This family also runs a B&B out of their home, so the mom is used to catering for guests and making delicious food, major bonus.
