pig testicles

we kinda sorta had a day off today from one-on-ones, two-to-twos, group activities, conference calls and phone sessions. after breakfast this morning we went into the small village of la alberca. i should note that a lot of us were tired and hungover this morning because of last night's party. i had 3 rum and lemonades (new favorite drink). the hike from the hotel to la alberca is about 25 minutes long. we walked around the village some, but it's not very different from what you'd expect. cobblestone streets, old buildings and churches, a small square and a wandering pig. you have those in your village too right?

they love their pigs here. when we were talking in the square earlier today, a bigass black pig happened upon us. i mean we are talking big. and ugly. the wandering pig comes from back when the jews and moors inhabited the village. the jews would offer the pig to the poor of the village. nowadays, the pig roams the village for one year. after the year is over a raffle is held and the winner gets the pig and does what they want with it. since ham is so big here, i assume the pig becomes dinner. i almost thought about entering the raffle and setting the pig free if i won.

you know i don't mind pork, but seeing that ugly ass pig, i am not so hungry for pork anymore.
