Back In Normandy July 8, 2010
Posted by tiffany in : Normandy , trackbackIt’s been very difficult to find affordable or even cheap lodging and experiences as the summer progresses. We had a Workaway scheduled in Ireland for the time before we meet with my mother but the couple began hosting a person already, so they canceled on us. We continued looking and emailing other prospective hosts, but with no success. So being optimistic, we looked to the hosts we had in Normandy. But they were full too. However they had friends that need some extra help.
We arrived in Caen, France and received a friendly welcome by our new hosts, Carl and Kris. Their home dates back to the 16th Century and are lovely! There are a couple of cherry trees and a ton of wild cherry trees here that are perfectly ripe and ready to be eaten (needless to say, taking a break here is very nice!).
The work is pretty easy, I have been weeding the grounds with the lady of the house while Chris has been trimming the hedges with Carl.
Tomorrow We’re going to the beach with our hosts since it’s been such nice weather. Exciting!
