Hi guys! Yesterday, my family and I went on a full day excursion where many things happened. First, we drove to a winery (I read A Column of Fire by Ken Follet in the car because I WAS NEVER TOLD OF ITS EXISTENCE even though the first two books, Pillars of the Earth and World Without End are some of my favorite books. Looking at you Troy!). The first thing we did at the winery was go look at their animals. They had a goat and two black pigs in a pen, as well as some chickens. When I walked over, the two pigs acted like dogs and came to me, lay down, and wanted to be scratched and petted. I complied because they were adorable. On the way back to the main building of the winery I noticed that we were walking on very interesting ground. It was a dark, dulled purple, and I thought it made an amazing walkway. Then we realized that it was all peach and apricot pits! I thought that was genius. Then, we waited. We had not come here for wine, but for ducks! At this winery live 1700 ducks and they get fed three times a day. This results in what is called a “Duck Run”. That’s right. A Duck Run. There are handlers with flags and a running track that the ducks charge through to get to their food! The result is absolutely hilarious. In the end, all the spectators get a bag of food and the ducks eat out of our hands. It’s really great. We then drove to another winery where Ofer and Troy sampled wine paired with chocolate. Asher and I did the same, but our wine was the exact same as theirs, just without alcohol. It was very sophisticated grape juice. After that, we went to eat lunch (and Ofer and Troy sampled even more wine). I had an enormous platter of different African cheeses! Then we went to a jerky store where we got some really good beef jerky. Our last stop of the day was at a crocodile breeding farm where the animals are bred for their skins. Then, we went home, watched some TV, and went to sleep. 2-2-2-2-2-2-2…
