NOV. 11TH 2012
After 3 weeks together, working our butts off, Heli is leaving. She will be staying in this area for 3 days vacationing until she flies home to Finland. She has been my roommate and workmate. She was only scheduled to stay the 3 weeks so will be replaced by another WWOOFER from Germany on Tuesday. This afternoon after working all day we took the train to Bari so she could rent a SMART car at the airport. We drove back to the apartment and tomorrow we will drive to Alberobello and maybe Locorotondo for a much needed day off from picking the olives.
Heli is a Swedish language teacher to high schoolers in Finland. When a teacher in Finland teaches for 5 years, they are entitled to take a full year off from teaching and still get paid a portion of their pay. This is what Heli did. She has been away from home for almost 3 months. But tomorrow we will be free to travel and NOT pick olives! We are very happy about this.
