This past weekend, I helped my host family pick grapes. Our crew consisted of me, Ion, my host mom, and a friend of the family. My host dad is still in Belgium because my host brother found him a job. The work consisted of each of us walking a row of grapes and picking the grapes of in bunches by hand. We would fill buckets and then carry the buckets to the bags where Ionica and I would dump them. Each of us did two rows—down and back. It took us four hours and we filled 20 bags. Each bag contained between 4 and 5 buckets full of grapes.
