Muy caliente!

Today was hot! It started out well enough but soon picked up with a vengeance! We did the same thing as yesterday, went around with our wheelbarrow and shovelled poop! But this time we also got to feed them and had more pens assigned to us, so it filled up the morning well! We had some time after before our morning break so we helped pull weeds, he glamorous life of vet students. Then we broke for breakfast at 11, where we promptly put on more sun cream and snaked and then helped with some more weeding. Then the ferrier came! So we watched him fix a bunch of hooves. Some were really bad but some were good and we helped a bit with one particularly difficult one but mostly watched. Then the vet came and he was supposed to do a castration but it's too hot and they ate beforehand so we couldn't since he likes to do them fully sedated and not just standing. But we went around and did some standing sedation for some donkeys and miles that needed the ferrier, and the vet checked a few animals that had problems. One mule has a foreign body in his eye! So it was cool when he yanked it out. Once the vet was done one of the workers told us it was 1:30 and there wasn't much to do, so we could fanny about doing something or just be finished for the day. We picked the latter as its so hot and there really isn't much to do. So we came home and had a wee lunch and a much needed shower! Then I had a nice siesta and we hung out a bit more in our caravan before heading into town to have dinner. When we
Got there though we found out thatthe restaraunt   that we wanted to go to wasn't open till 730 so we sat at a bar and had some soda to beat the heat while we waited, and they gave us some free chips so that was good too! Then we went to dinner and it was really good! A lot of food and some amazing sangria and had a lovely time chilling outside and trying to use out limited Spanish, but I feel like we got by pretty well! We'll have to practice more with the people here who maybe won't judge us so much! Anywho it's almost
10 so well probably rinse off and head to bed!

  1. Sounds like when we were in Italy and we were always the first people there when the restaurants opened at 8pm! Ahh late dinners. No me gusta!
