update
sorry folks for the lack of blogging lately, hope you haven't been checking too often ;-) aaaanyway, there has been no internet chez Bassouls lately, and i'm done with my first vineyard session. in review, that was a nice 3 weeks of sometimes hard work but i was real happy and learned a lot. what i have yet to do, however, is find an ORGANIC vineyard that will have me, because that is where i will do the learning necessary for my Oldenborg Travel Grant and presentation next fall. i've got one set up for the end of the month (june 27 to july 11, i might not have internet during that time) but am working now to get some work in right away. fingers crossed.
for lack of work/internet/school, however, i've been hanging out, playing guitar, doing pushups, sleeping, etc. oh yeah and my parents visited me last week, which was really nice. we dined with my host family and the family of the vintner i was working for, and we drove around and saw some ancient and pretty little towns, and a lot of pink flamingos. beautiful!
wednesday i went to the beach with some new friends the first of which i met through hockey. really nice kids, self-described with the french word "geek" (i mean, its probably an english word) so of course we all get along pretty well. yesterday they took me to a place called Pont du Diable to play in the river. this trip was magnificent and when i have photos i'll share them, that's probably the best way to explain what it was like.
thats all for now and hope you are all enjoying your summer.
