After the first week on the farm

I'm not minding the farm much, it just is at the it doesn't quite seem worth it.   With the food situation, we are suppose to be provided food, there is a whole list of what all is provided, anything that is not actually grown on the farm is rationed out and not all of it is actually provided.  Lunch is always done as a group and I can only eat about half of it as the common (only beyond salt and black pepper) seasonings are the peppers.  So I have been eating a whole lot of vegetables.   While good for me and making me feel a lot better than living on carbs, I do need some pasta/grain/protein/fat in my life.  I really realized this when I went to the SCA event this weekend and couldn't stop eating all the non-vegetables, I even ate my whole piece of salmon and I usually don't like fish especially salmon.  This combined with the lack of communication is really starting to annoy me and make me think that I won't be staying beyond my two week trial period.  Expectations are not clear, and since everyone else has been here 2-3 months, it is even worst, in that they know, and I'm clueless, with no one really willing to tell me what I need to know.

I did go to a wonderful SCA event this weekend, down here in Trimaris, it definitely has a different feel than events back home but still the same.  The it really doesn't matter what the door says, the bathrooms are unisex does take some getting use to.   They did an amazing job trying to dress up the ymca camp to feel less like a camp and more medieval. And they feed you for the entire weekend, and almost all of it was me friendly.  And yummy food too.  Also there are cabins available, much like black oak lodge back in Caid, but I get the impression that most the events here are like this.  Anyway I had fun and forgot to take pictures and learned how to do needle-binding, and now I want to make myself warm wool socks that don't run if they get a hole.

Since I'm thinking I won't stay beyond my two weeks here, the question is what next?  I'm still trying to decide, but if I had to answer the question today I would say Friday head out to another Trimaris event, and then from there head south toward the florida keys.  I still want to see the oversea highway.  Then slowly meander to Gulf wars, still really want to go.  Probably go to Everglades NP for a little bit.
