July 18-22 participated in a straw bale workshop in Plouha, France lead by Franck Debouté. Really impressed with the people, the landscape, the architecture and the food. The people were open and genuine. The landscape was absolutely beautiful: Wheat fields and small herds of dairy cattle on pasture; old, simple, but beautiful stone buildings. And the bread, cheese, beer and wine was great. really.
