Another day, another post. Yesterday was wine making day! For most of the day we just hung out but at four things started to get crazy. We were handed sheers and told collect all of the grapes we could find. There were people on each other's shoulders, climbing up poles, and falling grapes everywhere. We ended up with ten to fifteen gallons of red grapes and the same of white. It was time to step in. We took turns and began squishing the grapes with our feet. It was so much fun to watch people's faces as they stepped in. Once everything was well pressed the mush went through a series of filters and were squeezed through each one. The juice was put into a container and set aside for later. Then we moved on to the ~400 peaches that covered our kitchen table. They had to be peeled sliced and canned. At first  Joe, Rachel, two of the women from the town and I peeled and sliced. It would have been easier to do if the peaches hadn't been cling peaches (the kind where the flesh sticks to the pit). Two hours later, the jars that we had were full and we still had 100 or so peaches left. What do you do with that many peaches? Well you take half and make a huge cobbler for 30 people. It was pretty darn amazing.
Today, we were back to work. However, in the morning we ended up learning how to make arrow heads and other stone tools. Yeah, it is a rough life here but what can you do? This afternoon we are heading out to the river to look at its deposites. Finally, no more hard geology. We are turning more to the environment rather than just how something was deposited.
