The installation had three different pods. An open, geodesic dome-framed tent for living, a storage / greenhouse, and a garden with bike-pedal-powered electricity. Jared peeking into the tent.
Luckily, we managed to catch up to him a few minutes later and then it was only another ten minutes hike over to the camp site. We got to work on the tents because it looked like the break in the rain...
Here's the shitty-ass, leaky tent I spent my first few nights there freezing my ass off in. After my third, cold, damp, practically sleepless night in this thing, I finally requested a meeting with the head of the camp to see if there were better accommodations because I was having trouble staying awake during meditation after so little sleep. The instructor explained to me that it was an administrative mistake and no students were supposed to be in those tents.
We decided that in order to maximize the space, we would need to move the door into the place from the right corner, over to right where Dzija is standing in this photo.
Here's when were getting ready to build. At this point, Amy and I were still living at our old apartment down in Gowanus, Brooklyn and Dzija was sleeping in the tent that you see.
