As I've said before, I'm a city girl. I get excited when I see cows and chickens and horses. These are not things I see on a regular basis. The chicken that I see is wrapped in plastic in the grocery store. However, in the DR, there are chickens everywhere and roosters don't just crow in the morning, they crow all the time.
So we are riding up this hill to pick up Erika (her actual name is something like angelika, but it sounds like erika to me) from school to take her home and there is this cow just walking up the road. So, I say hi cow (actually hola vaca), which Antonio thinks is just the funniest thing. (Yes, I talk to animals and I know most of the people reading this post also talk to animals, so don't give me any grief.) I just want to know where this cow is going. It's not on a farm, it's just walking up a hill. It seems like it has someplace to go and I just wonder where and who does it belong to. I mean, someone has to own him, right? I also wonder about the donkey/mules (I don't know the difference) that are just tied up to a tree on the side of the road. Out in the country, every few miles you will see a donkey on the side of the road eating grass, tied to a tree. Who does he belong to and what is he waiting on? These questions didn't really get answered with my broken Spanish and Antonio's broken English.
