MORE OBSERVATIONS

GRAPES: In agriculture we forgot grapes. We passed through miles of vineyards, many being harvested. Pickers would wave and yell as we rode by. There were tractors pulling wagons loaded with grapes heading to the wineries. The vineyards were mostly further north.

WILDLIFE: Aside from the flock of buzzards circling us in the desert, we saw deer, lots of rabbits, a spruce or blue grouse, some hawks, and maybe a fox. The bugs aren't bad, and we saw lots of geckos. In the north we saw dead snakes on the road, some big enough that you wouldnt want to meet them, and cute little hedgehogs. We imagined we saw wild boar, but in truth they were probably domestic.
