I have noticed that often we hear squealing brakes in front of or near our house. The other day I discovered that people drive really fast up the road and then when they get to the drempel, they slam on their brakes! The drempels are well marked, but for some reason, if you drive fast enough, I guess the sign disappears.

Today we had three rain storms come through. The first one was this morning shortly around 8:30, while I my clothes were in the washing machine. It was a short lived storm, and I hung my clothes outside. Around 10:30, I decided to bring in the dry clothes. I had not had them in long before the second rain came through. It was a little longer than the first one. The third rain came through just before our evening swim. The sea was a little rougher than usual (the waves where we swam this evening were huge — 18 inches at most!) probably because of the storms in the area.

I took some unique pictures today. I took a picture of the sign of probably the only Donkey Safari Park in the world! Evidently, the wild donkeys were becoming a nuisance, causing accidents and getting into people’s yards, etc.. The ancestors to these donkeys were used in the salt fields long ago, and when equipment took their place, they were left to fend for themselves and, of course, multiplied. Someone decided that the donkeys should be protected, so started the Donkey Refuge. Unfortunately, the donkeys on the outside of the refuge are fairing much better. The refuge is struggling to feed the donkeys and the ones that are still free are fat and healthy.
