The dinner table, at my third WWOOFing location, has assigned seats. Unofficially of course, but I sit across from Evelyn, the 64 year old woman who loves television and cross words, who sits adjacent to Antoni , the 26 year old Belgian with Jesus hair, who sits across from Gabe, my 22 year old boisterous American …

Things that are true: In some parts of France, people pronounce google "googie"Gas is cheaper in Spain than France and it is not uncommon for people who live near the border to drive to Spain for the reduced price.Everyone in France hates Macron.

One Spoiled American, Two Soiled Rooms
Gotta say WWOOFing ain’t always a dream. One day you might find yourself holding an over-sized ladle stirring “confiture du lait” (literal translation: milkjam) for four hours at a time, in a rapidly heating room, accidentally burning yourself and trying to defy the romantic pursuits of another WWOOFer. You might find yourself with bad cooks …

Day 3: 30 Days of Animals

The nails are clipped twice a year and grow incredibly fast. Tomorrow …
Week 1: Surviving on Sheep Farm in France
My first word was “bouteille,” French for bottle.
