Mazzy's Amazing Adventure: Little Dolores

   After my initial two weeks in Dolores I moved in with Mick and Dianes neighbors, Tamara and Maurice. They have a wonderful property with beautiful gardens and so many wonderful animals! I had such a great time. The animals kept me company while I was outside working and the weather was perfect! Plus, Tamara was a wonderful cook so I was, once again, well fed. I have yet to be disappointed with any of my hosts cooking!

   Tamara and Maurice also breed Spanish horses so I had a great time observing them. Most of the mares were expecting so I learned a little bit about the breeding process that I wouldn't have known otherwise. I was also able to go see their stallions which are kept at the stables down the road. In Spain, mainly only the stallions are broken for riding. The thoroughbreds are extremely beautiful, smart creatures.

  The last several days that I was with Tamara and Maurice were extremely eventful! First, one of the mares, Dahlia, had a little colt one evening. His name is Kohinoor and he was such a sweet little one! I was so excited I was able to be there for the birth. It was such a beautiful experience to be apart of. My last two nights, they had family and friends staying over. I was able to meet everyone including their little grandson, Daniel, who is only two. Their friends daughters, Sophia and Jessica, stayed over one night and I had such a wonderful time talking with the girls. They are truly the best behaved little girls I have ever met. And very intelligent! I really enjoyed the day I was able to spend getting to know them.

   All in all I had yet another wonderful Workaway experience. It so wonderful meeting so many new people and becoming part of their familiy for a short period of time. It brings a sense of having a home while I have been traveling. I encourage everyone to give it try. You can find more information HERE on their website.
