Earlier this week I decided to postpone my New Year hike from New Year's Day to today. Last night I went to bed and realized that may have not been a great decision. So this morning at 6 am there was already a flood warning in effect, which meant no chasing waterfalls in Northwest Alabama. Rainy days like this remind me of a place where I did not see rain one single day in my three visits there.
A little introduction before the picture. I spent about 10 weeks living/working in the country of Bulgaria. I helped manage a hostel in the beautiful capital city of Sofia and also worked on a farm in the Balkan Mountains for about two weeks.
WWOOF means Worldwide Organization of Organic Farmers. For two weeks in August of 2013, I worked for a "WWOOFer" who owned a farm in the mountains of Bulgaria. The above picture is the view I had daily as I picked plums and blackberries, cut wood and helped prepare meals in a wood fired oven outdoors. This farm was a Permaculture farm.
A few fun facts about Permaculture farming.
You do not waste ANYTHING.
You catch and store energy.
Creates a more sustainable world.
It was an interesting experience and most importantly the days are much cooler in Summer there.
