Day 25

I want to thank Bernie and Marlene for their generous hospitably they showed us today. We had a great time spending most of the day with them, meeting their family and Bernie’s cousin’s wife Raye. The fed us well and taught us many things about farming. This city girl found it very interesting and fun. We watched them harvest onions and potatoes. We came home with fresh onions, patatos and turnips. It is amazing how great the fresh onions smell and now so does the car. (not a bad thing) They also took us back to the cemetery so I could find a greave I expected to find yesterday and did not. OK, I had found it but just missed a couple stones that were right under my nose the whole time. Then they took us to another town to find a cemetery we look for yesterday also but could not find and sure enough we passed the road that it was on. Many of the roads in the area are not paved and we were not sure it was ok to go down them so we did not.

Again we have found family members that are good people that we really enjoyed getting to know. It is sad to think we all live so far from each other that we will be keeping in touch by email or postal service and not be able to see once in a while.
