The start of our day in Graciosa was to photograph or\nparticipate in the religious procession. In this procession, at least one\nperson from each family in Graciosa is supposed to participate. Some even walk\nbarefoot all the way up the mountain to the church to have mass. After the\nprocession we went to the Graciosa Museum, which was open just for us to check\nout. We were able to see old tools that people used to the fashion and music of\nGraciosa. We also left our mark by writing in the museums book of visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also saw a \u201cwhale\u201d that turned out just to be a rock that\nlooked like a whale. The tour guides thought it was hilarious that they tricked\nus into thinking we were going to see a real whale. We were able to see the\nlighthouse that was next to the rock. At the lighthouse we were able to meet\nthe dog that was there and he was very friendly along with his owners who were\nlaughing at us because we loved the dog so much. We then walked down to the\nocean cove and took some photos there. It was scary stepping close to the edge (not\ntoo close) but it was an amazing view and so peaceful to be around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the day, we went to a couple of different farms.\nOne was a working farm where a farmer and his wife were milking their cows. We\nwere able to see this process and we were also given the opportunity to milk\nthe cows, which were very interesting, and quite the funny experience. The farmers\nalso let us try the milk from the cow. It was not like regular milk. It was\nwarm and did not taste very good. We also went to a farm and the house of an\namazing artist that had rare dwarf donkeys. I think that this was my favorite\npart of the trip. I had a crazy connection with these donkeys they were just so\nsweet and curious. They loved to be pet and paid attention to. I could have\nspent all day with them. I didn\u2019t think I would like donkeys so much. We went\nover to the artist\u2019s home where there were baby donkeys and also a bunch of\ncats. We listened to his stories about his other visitors and we played with\nthe cats and also wrote short letters in his notebook where other visitors\nwrote in as well. I really enjoyed being able to leave my mark in these few\nplaces it made the experience even more special and memorable. At the end of\nthe day before seeing other scenic views and going back to the hotel, we\nstopped by another small farm where there were bulls. The tour guy was talking\nto the farmer about the boys wanting to do the running of the bulls, so the\nfarmer took the baby bull and let the boys run around with it. I was pulled\ninto where the baby bull was and literally had to take the bull by the horns.\nIt was fun to say the least and even funnier watching the boys run from the\nbaby bull. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
