After a couple of rainy days at the farm, we have just now had our first FULL day of harvesting potatoes. It was very hard work but very rewarding at day's end.
Another fun activity we enjoyed today was seeing the new baby sheep that was born yesterday. Needless to say it was very cute and Marisa took several pictures.
Also this weekend we visited the nearby town of Rothenberg, which you should visit for a day if you can. It's just beautiful. We went to the criminal museum, ate some Schneeballen (some special pastery ball) and walked along the castle walls that surround the city.
Sunday we went to Tobi's friend's Harvest Fest and it was gorgeous outside and a really nice day.
I'd say that as of now we're enjoying farm life and are hoping that it will somehow be a part of our life in the future. Both Tobi and Suzi have been great with entertaining our curiousities and handling the language barrier. We both really feel like we've become part of the family here after only one week. We've spent a lot of time sitting up chatting with Tobi and Suzi and their friends and it's nice because they're not all that much older than us, just six years or so. It's a lot of fun being on the farm and learning so much about the crops and animals; we're enjoying it very much.
