The Place – Los Toros, Azua, Dominican Republic.

It was the end of summer (but summer never ends in Los Toros) and the hot season; farmers were planting tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, tobacco and more. There has been some rain so the mountains were green and beautiful; while we were there the skies were clear and a brilliant blue. Farmers were riding their horses, donkeys and motor bikes to the fields to complete their planting. There are few trucks in Los Toros, many farmers walk to their fields early in the morning and return late in the afternoon; women carry their noon meal out to the fields. On Sunday we went to the neighboring village of Sajanoa and saw about twenty men riding their horses through the village as part of a political rally; during the week these same horses are used in the fields.

Era el fin de verano (pero verano nunca acaba en Los Toros) y el tiempo de calor; los agricultores estaban plantando tomates, ají, berenjena, pepinos, tabaco y más. Ha habido un poco de lluvia recientemente entonces las montañas eran verdes y bonitas; en el tiempo nosotros estábamos allí los cielos estaban claros y brillante con el color azul. Los agricultores estaban montando sus caballos y motores a los campos completar su plantando. Hay poco transporte de camión en Los Toros, muchos caminan a sus campos temprano en la mañana y retorno por la tarde; las mujeres llevan a cabo su comida del mediodía a los campos. El domingo nosotros fuimos al pueblo de Sajanoa y vimos aproximadamente veinte hombres que montan sus caballos en el pueblo como una demonstración política; durante la semana estos mismos caballos se usan en los campos.
