opening doors

unfolding plans....

we are going to leave berthegon a week early because we met a scottish man who is helpxing down the road, who has a little camper rv/truck, and is driving to spain....sooo we are going with him, and leah (another helpexer that we are living with now) on a roadtrip through france to toulouse, and over to barcelona!  how exciting...we'll drive all day on thursday and get to barcelona in the evening...we're going to spend the weekend in barcelona.  last night we were looking at tickets to italy, and then thought, well where else could we fly (ryanair has such good deals) and we decided to fly into vienna austria....to be there for a couple of days, and then take the train down to bled, slovenia to visit carson's uncle, and then go to venice, and then take the train down to cecina, italy (in the tuscany region) for our next help exchange experience on the 18th....  suddenly adventure and seeing new places and three new countries added to our travels from the blessin g of the roadtrip! 

 

we've been steadily clearning blackberry brambles for four days straight, there's a huge burn pile in the yard now (hopefully we'll get a picture of it before we burn it down on wednesday, i'll post it here) and we're all a bit tired of that gnarly plant!  (but much more skilled at removing it now). 

 

will write again soon!
