Day 8...
Ma première journée de travaille, finalement! Finally my first day of work, and the volunteering begins...
I started off with a relatively nice job, housekeeping. Nothing too bizarre or challenging in anybodies book. The plan was to start early at 8 and finish early at lunch time which was the only possible way we could function in forty degree heat. Crois-moi (Believe me) I was delighted to be inside washing floors, dressing beds etc.
After I cleaned a full gîte it was about quitting time and we had an extremely enjoyable lunch. That seems to be the one constant and striking feature of this experience, the meals people bring to the table! Never have I thought something was stodgy or tasteless. Always I am satisfied and surprised by the food here!
After that I was just pottering around doing my washing, surfing the net for trains and the likes and what not.
A trip to the lake to cool down was extremely beneficial in the scolding heat. Also I got a chance to take some impressive sunset pictures in this beautiful setting (as seen above).
Many games of settlers were indeed enjoyed and... I WON ! Hahahhahaha wooohooo, best day of my life, i have a photo to prove it, so happy with myself!
À demain,
