The Dog Shelter

It´s my second WorkAway so far. This time I´m helping a family that runs a dog shelter. They have about 16 or so dogs, some rescued, some here temporarily. They randomly sit next to me on the bench and smell my shoes. It´s funny.

I took a few of them on a walk yesterday. Got to see some of the Portuguese countryside. It is WINDY here. But full of rolling hills and eucalyptus pines. And this area is surrounded by GIANT wind turbines. It gives sort of a surreal atmosphere to this place.

These ppl have a garden with lots of fruits and vegetables. They have oranges, tangerines, lemons, portuguese sour plum thingies, etc. And the hostess is an amazing cook. It´s a good break from all the restaurants and bars.

But it´s getting a bit lonely here. No one my age for miles. You know me, I´ve never been that much of a loner. I´ll prolly head to Seville in a day or two...
