So I have survived my first full week in France! It’s definitely going by way too fast!! So much has already happened in this short time and I have learned more than I could imagine. 

Always wear sunscreen!! Learned that one the hard way…. again!! 

Last night the gardeners and roommates all got together and had an amazing BBQ! There was so much food and I loved sitting back and listening to them talk in French.  I’m improving but still so much to master. In the mornings we have a sentence of the day, and we repeat it throughout the afternoon. There was so much food and wine I couldn’t even eat everything. 

Today we planted gourds, I’ll have to get a picture tomorrow and post it. We only work until 11 on Friday and Barbara was sweet enough to drive me into Tours so I could exchange some money. No way could I drive in France. It’s a bit intense and overwhelming. Amazes me how they do it. 


We picked some cherries today!! So delicious! 

Tomorrow Nikki, Barbara and myself are going to tour another Château.
