Things are as usual in Batlow. Quiet and dull. We’ve been pretty lucky with our work situation here. We’ve earned about $3000 since we’ve been here but we still hope to make more before traveling on. We started on March 3rd and since then we’ve worked steady for the same farm. Only a rain break of 5 days and a much needed day off after an 11 day stretch of apple picking. Now we are patiently awaiting the ripening of the Fugi apples so we can get back to work. We have a 5 day vacation as we wait. Hopefully we will be able to get back to work on Monday. After that we will see how long it takes for the next variety of apples before making our decision to move on.
Batlow is strangely comfortable. The town people are nice and welcoming. This weekend there is going to be a big celebration for the town. All the backpackers here at the caravan park have decided to go even though we’ve told its not much more than some balloons and goats with ribbons on them. We’ll see though. The people here are so hospitable I feel embarrassed to make jokes about it.
Francis and I took some pictures at the orchard just for your viewing pleasure. I will post them as soon as I get a fast enough connection to the internet.
