Well, it's been a great few days, so we'll start with my last time on the old farm. Our last day of work started late and ended early, which I was glad for, because I didn't want to be exhausted for my day of traveling. During the day, I found a mouse in my glove, which was at first just plain confusing, and then really funny. I took it out, with some difficulty, and let it free near the plum trees. Kevin said he would pay us 1euro per mouse we killed, but really, who can do that.
The traveling day went very well. I caught all of my trains successfully, which i was very pleased about. I also had a 4 hours stopover in Paris, so I strolled my way across the city to my next train station, bought some great bread and and enjoyed the people watching. On my second train, the conductor made fun of me because it looked like I had changed the date on my pass (it was actually just me reversing the month and day). I didn't understand, and was starting to get nervous until the lovely girl next to me explained. We then spent the rest of the ride chatting about all sorts of things. She's a stage director working in Paris, and also a writer, although it was unclear how successful she was. The coolest part was that she's a member of couch surfing, so when I spend a few days in Paris at the end of all this, I'll likely stay at her place.
This new farm that I have arrived at is going to be excellent I think. The main woman in charge, Anette, is perfectly friendly, although a little bit distant. I arrived and was shown to my lovely appartment by Ina, who has been on this farm a few times now. I'm really looking forward to all of the time I can spend with the horses, and Ina is taking me riding later today. I haven't done alot of work today, the only job really was cleaning a few stables, and there were 3 of us working. I'm sure I'll begin to really put in my time later though, and I'm excited.
