near vlagtwedde


northeast corner of netherlands, wwoof spot until the end of august. I arrived Wednesday and so far I have done some stonework with a walkway, harvested seeds, picked loads of plums, and learned to make bread the Italian way, the place I'm staying at is very close to Germany, it's about a 15 min car ride to the border, my hosts tell me they often go to Germany to buy groceries because it's cheaper in Germany than the Netherlands, so it's weird to hear them say 'we are going to germany, we'll be right back'.
I went for a bike ride to a neighboring village the other day and bought a ice cream cone.
I wonder how much that cone would have cost me in Germany
