One week later and I am still in Penticton (well, a 45min walk out of Penticton) on the same cherry orchard. Turns out I'm not cherry picking sensation!! haha in fact I am very slow at picking therefore I earn very little!! haha But while living is more or less free while we work it makes it worth while! And have had a blast with everyone. I know say good morning and good night in french and can swear a little....
So our last day on the orchard was meant to be yesterday but there is still more cherries so last day is tomorrow. Then we get paid out on Monday. Plan from there is a little hazy. I hope to buy a bike off this Quebec guy ($30 for a speed demon!! Sweet rig!!)and then i think i can just ride town to town with my stuff on my back and camp here and there and maybe pick up more orchard work from time to time. My masterplan is to now stay in the Okanagan region till end of September and then make my way to Fernie as all the winter jobs come on line in October.
Not much news from last week though. Have been pretty much work the morning away then chill at the lake or go on exploratory walks in the avo. I am loving it!! And definitely looking forward to wherever I end up next, maybe a town called Oliver. Sounds beautiful! Will write it when it happens...
