ok so the farm actually sucks
basically early saturday morning ariela got stung by a wasp/hornet and got hives everywhere and went into anaphylactic shock (spelling?). it was bad and not fun and too intense but there were all these doctors staying in the B and B on the property who came to help (with homeopathic medicine they tried to heal her with doing pressure points on her ear..? but that is besides the point). basically lots of shit and the ambulance and fire department came- like 9 people crowding around her with an IV and a AED (AED? cant remember of CPR righ now) and oxygen mask and they rushed her to the hospital in an ambulance. she is fine now after 2 hospital visits and a new epipen to carry everywhere but woah. hello french healthcare.
ok, basically that escalated out idea that we arent very happy here. not only because of the wasps but because the couple didnt really care that it was all happening- they even refused to pick ariela up from the hospital because it was too late. they also are very distant; we have to eat breakfast and dinner alone and its just us working and they give us a place to stay. plus the work is all weeding and picking up rocks from a rock field and just not that fun.
anyway, ariela has had amazing wwoofing experiences and she says this isnt the way it should be- we should want to stay longer rather than not be able to wait to leave- so now we are looking for other plqces to go. we may not be able to go anyway but we will at least try. i am not that crazy about farms but i dont want to come away from this thinking farms suck and so does wwoofing.....
anyway; updates will follow
