As some of you may know, I was able to spend Christmas and New Years with my brother in southern France. It was not all just a holiday, however. We went into the
paysage for some work and some mission. It was great fun to work at a family's dairy farm for a few days. We woke up at 5:30, dawned our farming coveralls and went down to the farm. The more than 50 cows had to be milked and fed twice a day. So in the morning we would milk them all and then clean the rooms in which this happens. After feeding them, we went back up to the house for breakfast, including fresh milk that we had just taken! It's quite satisfying eating breakfast with 3 hours of work already under your belt. This farm was right at the foot of the Pyranees, which allowed for fantastic views. And we couldn't resist the mountains. After finishing with the cows one day, we took a car up to the closest ski hill and rented some snowboards for the
day. I've now skied the Swiss Alps and the French Pyranees. (In both cases I'm partial to the Rockies).
