Wet Woman in Washington

Haha, I couldn't resist that title. I got into Seattle safe and sound but relied heavily on the kindness of strangers to assist me with all my baggage (the literal kind, not emotional lol) in order to get onto the ferry and back off again to Bainbridge Island. I was put right to work pressing the last of the grapes, shoving 400 pound containers into the press, which was entertaining. I've been splitting garlic cloves for planting and gutting and carving pumpkins for the pumpkin walk this week. I've seen lots of people from last summer and met some new faces. A few of the interns, Dana and Amie, who seem really cool, quite a different pair from the guys last summer. We've spent our nights sitting by the fire pit and playing music (me and my silly irish tunes) and carving pumpkins and eating soup. I'll be sad to leave it on Saturday, but I'm still excited to get my first glimpse of Japan and to see my parents again!
