Four men on Horses

Katie and I were walking through the main Plaza at the Hacienda with misty fog in our faces, when out from the dark just outside the entrance, a man said in Spanish," We need to see the doctor." Shocked and a bit scared, because if the dark night and that the men had been drinking, we cautiously asked for clarification, they had heard of a doctor who lived at the Hacienda. We said we would go check, we ran to the kitchen to ask the cook who Adriano was, where he lived and most importantly, whether we could bring four men on horses to his house in the dark of night. The cook said yes that it was fine, with an air of comfortness that suggested this type of thing happens with some regularity. Going back out we led them to Adriano`s house and watched outside to make sure their mission really was well meaning. Seeing that it was we left and both had the feeling that we were transported for a short time to the 1700`s.
