Wwoofing part II

None of the following pictures depict the actual physical labor that was involved during my farm vacation. In the hopes that you don't assume I just wandered around vineyards the whole time:

Mixing lime, sand and water to create toxic mortar

Mortaring the walls of a 500 year old house

Cleaning out the chicken coop (poop)

Tending to the farm crops.

BON

And now pretty pictures.

Macaroons recovered from dumpster diving.

Second most common site at the farm.

Wwoofing

I spent the last ten days wwoofing (organic farming) with my friend at an old house outside Libourne (outside Bordeaux). It was such an amazing experience. I built walls (yes wielded a heavy shovel) and mortar-ed (toxic), cooked, sang, and danced with great people. My feelings are too cheesy to post so here are some pictures!
