Hello everyone,
I've started to recover from the food poisoning. Yesterday I worked my first day in the orchard. Right now we are just thinning apricot trees. Really easy work. You just are taking a lot of the apricots off the trees to give the other apricots more room to grow. It seems counterproductive at some times because so many apricots are going to waste...who knows. After doing that for about 6 hours three French people...Nolan and I decided to go for a hike to try and find the river that runs through the town.
We ended up finding the river and it was gorgeous. The water was a turquoise color like i've never seen before...simply beautiful. I was thinking about swimming until I felt the temp of the water and it was freezing!
Now it is Sunday and here at the Fruit Garden everyone gets the day off. I think we may head to Queenstown next weekend to do some bungee jumping or rafting. It's crazy to think that we have already been here for three weeks going on a month. That is why we have decided to not stay in a place for to long because we want to try and see as much of the island as possible.
