| Kate was all excited to practice her Spanish with a local farmer, but it ended up being a German couple!!! So I got to practice my German instead. Kate was kindof annoyed. The house was pretty cool; the couple had moved there 20 years ago and remodeled it themselves. They first lived without water, heat or electricity. Today it is quite different from then, according to pictures they showed us. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Our first job consisted of tearing out old tomato plants and weeding their garden. Along the way we found some cute miniature veggies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| For all Europe travellers on a low budget, joining the World Wide Organization for Organic Farming (WWOOF), at 25 bucks a year is a cheap alternative to hostels and such. What you do is pay your membership fee to receive lists of organic farms all over Europe (or the world, depending on where you're travelling) that will put you up and feed you in exchange for work. We tried this twice. The first experience was pretty bad, because the guy was a freak. The second one was pretty good, except for an argument at the very end. Apparently Kate and I have an inability to get along with chauvanistic males of the household. Darn. But nevertheless, I have heard many great WWOOFing stories, and the second farm was overall a good experience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
