Well, it is now thursday and my 4th day of work. As you can see I am quite busy, plus it is hard to get access to a computer. So far things are going great. I am working in the lab and helping out as needed in the cellar. My cellar work has been all manual labor....like working on the bottling line glueing boxes together containing wine.....but the lab related stuff is interesting and I definately have the opportunity to ask questions and learn all about wine making!
Harvest hasn't started yet, so we are working pretty normal hours...about 40 hours a week. But that will change soon and I will be working 12-14 hour days, 6 days a week. Luckily they keep us busy both at work and after work - lots of harvest parties and tastings at other wineries. Monday we were introduced to the infamous dive bar...Lumpy's. Wednesday I got to go out for a nice dinner (I have been eating a lot of chips and salsa and cheese this week for dinner), apparently Nick Cage's fav restaurant in the area.
This weekend we get to move into our permanent housing (it wasn't quite ready). Lot's of fun stuff going on tommorrow and the weekend. I'll share all the details later and a picture of the view I've had in the morning when I walk to work (it's about a 5 minute walk).

Busy! Yes, your sister is wondering what is going on in Dayton. More details please. Crater lake this weekend?
So when does Harvest start?, and what will you be doing in the lab?, and do you have a room mate?, and will you be home for Thanksgiving?
Harvest should start in a week or so. The Syrah will come first. I am not sure when I will be back. Since I will need to find a new job when I get back I asked for a definate last day. They should hopefully be able to tell me in a couple of weeks. I don't know if I'll be back for thanksgiving. Possibly not. I was thinking that we might actually be driving back home over the holiday. So me and bryan might have to eat turkey on the road :)
Hey Jen -
[sarcasm]Looks like you're really having a horrible time. You should probably turn around and come back to work![/sarcasm]
Actually, I haven't had a chance to read through all of your blog posts yet, but the pictures speak volumes. Looks like a great trip.
Enjoy. I'm still jealous!
