Our time here at Hof Wegwarte and Germany in general is finally coming to a close. It has been just over two months since we landed in Frankfurt and Ryan and I are ready to move on to our next adventure spot...SCOTLAND. Over the past few days Ryan and I have become good friends with Francis, the other WWOOF'er. He left this morning to go to Berlin for the weekend so the three of us went out for a farewell dinner last night. On Martin's recommendation, we w...

The weather has been surprisingly good with bright blue skies and spectacular views of the Alps. This week we were also joined by Francis, another WWOOFer from Quebec City. Since Francis arrived, he and Ryan have been working very hard for Martin digging a new pathway at t...

When we returned to Oberbierbronnen, the blanket of fog that was present during breakfast was starting to lift and it turned out to be a bright and sunny day. Wh...

HE GOT HIS BOOT! That's right...after being in Germany for almost 2 months Ryan has finally got his drinking glass shaped like a boot. This magical moment occurred yesterday afternoon in Freiburg. After a weekend full of apple picking and juice making, Ryan and I had our first day trip since arriving at Hof Wegwarte. Martin dropped Ryan, Jochen and I off at the train station and the three of us took the 1hr ride into Freiburg. Jochen was going to be stayin...
