Farming in Germany
Howdy fellow Americans. We are now farming near hamburg on a beautiful little property. I don't call it a farm because it is most definitely not a farm. It is the weekend home and summer holiday home of a community of friends that live in hamburg. They do have a pretty large garden though, and loads of fun projects for us to work on. So far we rebuilt an old table, laid the brick foundation for a clay pizza oven, picked a ton of berries, and dug a gigantic hole for their luxurious bathroom located in the middle of a hay field. Later this week we will be making a solar powered fruit dehydrator, so we will have some fun projects to share when we get home. We have very much enjoyed the German food, beer, and hospitality that have been shown to us so far. We came w the intention of learning a bit of German, but once again, everyone we encounter speaks English! Below are some pics Our house is 250 years old
We built this table and received an erdinger in return!

Erdinger! Good table, fine table. Sounds like less backbreaking work and more fun projects. Very cool. What was the property originally? That house is HUGE! Seth says you're planning on leaving early to go explore a bit more? Love and miss you both! Mom
