Deep down in the wilderness of Canada

Monday, Aug 15:
my first working day at the farm in pemberton „Ice Cap Organics“.
I got up at 6 am, ate breakfast (delicous joghurt with fruits and oats), brushed my teeth and just got ready for work.
During the day, i had to weed harvest vegetables like salad, carotts, potatoes, kale and swiss chard. I work with two girls called Marget, a permanent employe, and Claudie, an other WWOOFer from Quebec. =)
At noon we had lunch: delicious salad, tomatoe soup, crackers with butter and cheese as wella as almonds and some tea =) you got definitely full.
In order to get my accomodation and food for free, I have to work 6 hours on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. If i work 2 hours more on each of these days, i get these additonal hours paid with 12 dollars/hour. So I make almost 100 bugs this week =) Its a really nice offer which I liked to accept ;)
In this way work ende at 4 pm. After that I got ready to discover the surrounding area ;) For today I decided to go to the nearby river (Lillouet River). It was a awesome walk there, along the mountains and through Canadians wilderness ;) =) I enjoyed the view of the river, sitting on a tree trunk at the small beach, eating some delicous fruits =D
On my way back I discoverd a deer. Unfortunately there was no encounter with a bear =/ =P even though, i was equipped with a bear spray, which i got from my „host father“ Delaney. His wife Alisha was today off to Vancouver out of personal reasons, by the way. And they have got a son called Aira; about one year old and really cute =)
My tour ended already at about 6 pm, cause i was quite tired and wanted to spare my powers for the next days. Tomorrow I'll probably go to Pemberton town with the bike and on Wednesday I'll visit Whistler =)
I got a shower which i was longing for all day xD and i had dinner with Claudia: Tortillas, filled with vegetables, and salad =)
I am excited how the following days will look like and i think already now that it is a pity that i can stay only a week. But it IS a week after all =)
