When it's not raining, Asturias weather is great. In one afternoon it can be raining, and then hot and sunny, and then back to rain. From what I'd been told, Spain is mostly known for being hot and dry, but Asturias is unique in how much it can rain, and how humid the air is. The house and surrounding land is always soaking wet.
Donkey Paradise is in a valley behind a hill, on the side of a larger mountain range. A lot of moisture passes through the area, so it is always very muddy. Donkeys don't like the mud very much, and try and hide in their stables when it's raining. In the mud they sink in very easy. Since their feet are small, and they weigh a lot, they sink into the mud very easily. It's humorous to watch the Donkeys will discover elaborate ways to get around mud.
I'm really glad I carried wellies through London. Makes all the funny looks I got worth it.
Sounds like Dutch weather. It is raining buckets there right now. Maybe there won't be any water left in the sky by the time you arrive there.
ReplyDeleteWho knew you would learn so much about donkeys. How is Ney doing with her Spanish? You BOTH look great in the pictures.

We are all not unlike donkey's - trying to avoid what we don't like and snooker others into giving us that which we do. Unfortunately as we have evolved, we are less direct than donkey's in expressing our needs, likes and otherwise.
ReplyDeletebe a donkey!
I wish I could be a Donkey. The Donkeys around here get spoiled!
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for.
