Hola!
Here
we are on Tuesday, Day 21 of my trek in Costa Rica. Today is an
exciting day,
I have been given the honor of having one of their
sheep killed for meat.
Jesus
and his knives, getting ready to kill a ram.
Jesus
killed the ram and is bringing it to a area to be skinned and cut
into pieces.
Christopher
and Jesus working on skinning the ram.
All
the outer fur of the ram is off now. It's time to cut it into pieces.
Jesus
working on cutting the meat into small pieces.
Tammy
is rubbing a combination of salt and garlic into the meat.
The
end pieces of the ram is ground down into ground meat.
Check out the
hand held grinder. Christopher ground the meat by hand.
What a good
workout for Christopher!
We
had lamb for dinner that night. It was very delicious!!
Like
my new hat? Do I look good in it??
This
afternoon we went to visit the cattle and calves. The mama cow(named
Moodini)
has humungous horns. A little too scary for me to be that
close to them.
One of them is not too nice, I literally stood behind
Tammy when they arrived into the stall area.
This
little calf is Simcha. She loves me scratching her face.
Simcha
rubbed her face into my face. Soo cute!
This
calf is named Buttercup. She is a friendly little babe. There is
another calf but
she is really skitterish, she won't come near me.
Poor thing! The other two were
very nice and friendly. They will grow
big with humungous horns just like their Mamas'.
Ohh,
I almost forgot, another unexpected surprise, a baby lamb was born on
Sunday afternoon. I couldn't hold the baby lamb until few days later
because
the mama sheep was very skitterish due to being a new mommy.
It
was an exciting day for Day 21 of my trek in Costa Rica.
More
to come of my journey of Costa Rica. I am enjoying being here and I
am
feeling much better than when I first got here. God has really
blessed us all
while I am here visiting. Keep
praying for well being and safety of my stay here.
Thank
you...
Jen
