Chachimbiro, Ecuador –
The Burro looked bored.
Then again, I suppose I would be bored too, spending most of my days going round and round.
Always the same small circle, tied to the same stick.
Not even much of a view. Sugar cane fields, a two-lane road, and the roadside café (if that’s what you would call it).
Then along comes a bus full of foreigners who circle around and take pictures of you doing your job.
It’s like being a performer on stage.
Or maybe a celebrity being hounded by paparazzi.
Then again, you do get to eat crushed sugar cane remnants from time to time.
I suppose it’s a reasonably good life.
For a Burro…
