A Visit To Doña Tina

Doña Tina lives about a half hour's walk from Nic's house. She lives where the road splits with her husband, Don Pedro, a dozen chickens, half a dozen cows, 4 dogs, 2 cats, a donkey and plenty of visitors. Doña Tina is always feeding someone, human or animal, and she always has a smile on her face and a hug upon arrival. Needless to say she is a joy to visit.  
Although her yard is small she has a vibrant garden. Here she crawled through the leaves to show us a beautiful white begonia.
When I got out my camera it reminder her that she had photos too. She brought out a small box, sat us down and began to show us all her photos. Behind her are two more people who came to lunch as well. 
Passing photo after photo, some of them were quite old. When she saw Nic's hat she laughed and said "Puro Quiche!" which roughly means that Nic is a man of his town.
Reaching for more photos...
Doña Tina. One hell of a lady.
