the streets are mostly very high frequented main roads. lots of cars and trucks of all ages and then as soon as you leave a main road there are villages, people selling produce right there on the street side and we passed many horse pulled wagons loaded high with hay. definitely a unique experience...
int he car...
and outside beyond the car windows...
the little farm we visited, there are so many interesting parts to the history of the village life and in particular to these lovely place. in short the house was built in communist times. there were two floor plans available, a one story and a two story one and that's why houses look very much alike!
the farmer and his wife work 5 hectares of land. they have one milk cow and three buffalo cows, about two dozen chickens and a couple of pigs, and a hand full of cats. a garden where lots of yummy veggies grow a few fruit trees, that's what they live on. there are no shops in the villages, no groceries to be bought, it's just the market on saturdays.
here is a very interesting link in regards to making hay and stacking it. it is an art, yes indeed it is.
the farmers wife was in the middle of braiding all her onions into long strands, something i remember my grandma doing too. i do wish for a garden to be able to grow onions, to last all winter for our family...
here the result!
to the right are the garlic braids, all safe in a little dry shed.
the buffalo pull what ever needs to be pulled, be it plow, wagon or just anything.
elias and i were stunned by the sight of this rooster!
and the kitty love...
