I went to the outdoor market in Collombes. I went shopping for Anna and enjoyed the surroundings. There is pretty much nothing I like more than outdoor markets. I watched the people, listened in on their French conversations. One woman was shocked when she found out her son had eaten all the chocolate and she asked him what he was planning on doing when he wasn't hungry for lunch but was then hugry at snack time and there would be no chocolate. He thought the best answer was to purchase more chocolate and that everything would be fine. The mother was not amused.
Then I came back and received a call from Molly, the woman on the farm in Provence. We talked about my internship, what I would be doing on the farm etc. I would work there for room and board so all I would need to do would be to take the TGV. I am waiting to hear back from an NGO that might have a research project for me regarding sustainable agriculture but if they do not respond by Monday, I will head down to Provence on Tuesday morning and do a project on organic agro-tourism and help with a community garden. I will help them with their vegetable garden, with their chickens, sheep and bees. I am incredibly exicted!
