The next morning we met the owners of the RV Park, Sal and Barb Contreras. They had arranged a tour of a small dairy and for a special treat. Pajarete,this is a traditional drink made with milk straight from the cow mixed with chocolate, sugar and a shot of pure cane alcohol.
Here you see the cows having their morning meal and getting ready to be milked. Each cow has it's designated spot and get upset if another cow takes it's spot.
Left to right we have Doug, Danna, Barb, Nancy and Sal waiting for the fresh milk.
Danna and I got our glasses filled first.
What surprised me was how warm and rich the milk was. A real taste treat that is not available at Starbucks.
Here Doug is trying on his new pair of sneakers with the red racing stripe.
Later in the afternoon we had lunch at "Alpina Posada & Restaurante". Simple looking food that tasted good and of course we had a bottle of Mexican beer.
The blog is a couple of days behind schedule because my iPad does not connect to the wifi provided at Hacienda Contreras, other computers are working perfectly. Finally got things going by getting a sim card for Danna's computer.
The next day was uneventful but there are always things to keep us busy.
We had a dentist appointment scheduled to have our teeth leaned but instead Danna had a root canal. The dentist specializes in root canals so I knew Danna was in good hands.
Lazy afternoon reading a book and relaxing in the sun. Our only work for the day was to walk across the street to feed Fiona and Don Quiote.
From the looks of Fiona we think she is pregnant. Make sure you do not stand behind her as she likes to kick if she feels threatened.
The fields in this area have fences constructed of stones brought down from the mountains. Donkeys pulling special sleds we're used to haul the rocks.
