with friends I met before I moved.
This wine making Is something like
our fruit harvest, of course it is done
largely by women at thia time. The
old ox cart goes out in the field with
two barrels that hold about 800 gal

and dump them Into a small tub, two
men carry the tub to the wagon. Of
course grapes pile up quite rapidly so
soon one of the men takes off his
wooden shoes and gets in with his
feet. Small chunks of mud go in too,
