We had the opportunity to experience life on the ranch a few weekends back. Along with Icidro and Minin, the two men who work Diego & Rita's land, we fed a herd of sheep their de-worming (anti-worming?) medicine. Here's Icidro, a cute little guy who wears his jeans cinched up tight and knee high galoshes, daily.
Chocolate, a male goat, who was sold (and turned into dinner) after fertilizing the females this year. He was kind of scary, anyway.
Micah and Minin wrastle the goat's mouth open.
Here's a better picture of Icidro. He also wears his machete every day.
We earned some sweet treats after all the hard work on the ranch, so Minin made us his special delicacy, leche de coco.
Shredded (dry) coconut, milk, sugar, and cinnamon...boiled into a sticky, gooey perfection. Here we are stirring and observing. 
This is Minin--he's super proud of his sweet. Because, it's really really good.
A close up--all ready to eat!
But before we got dessert, Rita helped us make arepas for dinner. Arepas are a white corn-flour dough filled with yummy things (ours had spinach, or sausage).
Working on the ranch made us hungry, so we devoured this dinner and didn't get any pictures of the done-deals. Whoops!
