I asked Nico and my friend Andrea if they wanted to come too. Andrea was all for it and couldn't wait to go. Nico...well, Nico needed a little more convincing. He seemed to like the idea of blueberry picking, but wasn't too stoked on the fact that it was 30 miles away up the coast. After being adamant that it wasn't worth it, he finally agreed to go as long as he could read his new book the whole car ride. Sure Nico.
And so the three of us headed up to gather some fresh blubs!
Nico, busy scavenging for fresh blueberries on the lower branches. They tended to be bigger and juicer directly out of the sunlight.
We gathered blueberries for about an hour in the extreme heat of Santa Ynez Valley. The best part about the whole experience was the fact that we were allowed to eat as many blueberries as we wanted while we were picking. So, not only did I pick 3 pounds of blueberries, I also came away with 3 pounds in my stomach. Talk about getting your antioxidants..!
Side note: 5 minutes after we started gathering the blubs, Nico said that this was probably one of the best things he's ever done. Hahhhhh, boys should really listen to girls more often.
