June 20

I caught the TGV and headed to Aix en Provence to start my new internship. Franchesco picked me up at the station, we drove to the farm, had an Ethiopan luch and I began with planting lettuce and weeding the gardens.

It is extrodinarily beautiful here! I will have to upload some pictures.

Before dinner I went out to meet the other students that rent rooms. I went and introduced myself. They were playing UNO and invited me to join in. They are as we say in france "super syampa", meaning "really nice people". I get to practice my rusty french slang and talk to people my age. C'est bonne ca.
