Burrolandía

As some of you already know, Montse recently adopted a donkey.  Everyone I've told usually laughs at the comment, but Montse has suggested that I present the information differently.  While the truth is that Montse is a sucker for all animals, I've been telling people that she is of noble class and adopting donkeys is a trendy thing to do for people of high society.  In fact, the queen of Spain, Reina Sofía, has a few donkeys herself.  To get on with my story, I decided to meet Lucero (Montse's donkey) who now lives at a donkey refugee farm called Burrolandía (Donkey Land).

Montse and I drove to the country to visit Lucero last Sunday.  Seeing all of the donkeys made me think of Pinocchio-- you know, the part where the little boys go to Pleasure Island and start turning into donkeys (click here to watch it).  If I ever adopt a donkey, I think I'd name him Pinocchio.  

oh, and I met a deer there.  And I got a chance to pet the deer before it tried to attack me.  cool, huh?
