Pueblo
Today we went to a little pueblo (town) about 45 minutes away because there was an olive oil festival.
Pueblos fascinate me. It´s like you walk into one and step into a time machine of about 100 years ago.
Life seems so uncomplicated and happy. Internet is nowhere to be found, children are playing in the streets, and women are doing their washing outside. Everyone knows everyone and kids aren´t tainted with things like drugs, smoking......and all those other things out there that teens do these days. While we were there the men were giving the kids donkey rides through the town. What fun on a Sat. night! No movie theatre or video club, no skating rink, no tv, no ice cream shop, no fancy restaurant........just a donkey and a leash and the kids couldn´t have been happier.
