My last day at the farm started at 7 am with weeding. Although it still felt tough and physically taxing, I pulled through 3 hours of weeding. After that
I did some carving on the wooden deck. Later, Sayaka-san had a group of 5 ladies for lunch and needed
help with the kitchen and in serving them. There was a certain way to set the table and specific sides from which to serve and to pick up the dishes. Sayaka-san’s
father came for the night too and Celso and I ate lunch with him while Sayaka-san was busy in the kitchen.
It started to rain quite heavily and we were indoors for the
rest of the day. The rain was so bad that there would be lightening every now
and then which would shake the house and make us jump. Since we had started early, there wasn't a whole lot of work to do in the afternoon apart from drying dishes.
Later in the evening Sayaka-san's friend arrived from Tokyo for Sayaka-san's birthday which is tomorrow. We
cooked Portuguese dinner. We all ate together and drank some wine. The interaction
between Sayaka-san and her friend was akin to mine and Shivani's (my best friend) on one of our sleepovers.
