So Loma Bonita is really spread out. I am supposed to walk
around to all the houses and try to get to know all the people who live here,
but that requires miles of walking. I had been invited by a man to come to his
house several weeks ago, but I still had not made it out to his house because
it is one of the far ones. I decided that I would head out that way and knock
out all the houses in that area.
About an hour or so into my walk, I came across two men on
horses and a road full of bulls! One of the men told me that if I didn’t want
to die, I better crawl through the barbed wire fence to the other side. Not
sure that I understood what this man was saying or that I wanted to squeeze
through all the barbed wire, I asked him to tell me that again. Well, he didn’t
have enough time to finish cause the bulls started to stampede. So, I dove
through the fence and watched from the other side as 30 bulls ran by where I
was just standing.
I did make it to the houses, but I’m not sure that I will be
heading back out that way anytime too soon.
