New Guests

On Saturday, Mara and her mom, Beth came to visit us for 9 days. The first thing that we did with them is we went to a pig farm. We went with the students who are in the program that my dad is the leader of. The pigs are called Cinta Senese. They are black with a band of white on around their bellies. They were actually pretty big and we even got to see piglets., which I thought were cute. They were also very loud. At the pig farm there was a black cat too. Then, after the pig farm we went to the Copra farm or goat cheese farm. They had a lot of goats. It reminded me of the goats at Catlin, but there were a lot more. We didn't get to try the cheese though, because it was not the season that they make cheese. There was even a rooster. We learned about how they make the cheese there. I learned that different kinds of shapes of the cheese molds and what size the wholes there are, make the chesse a different consisitency. I really liked both of the farms!
