Messíni, Donkey

No, that is not my travel companion! That really is a hard working Greek, taking a much needed coffee break.

We still see a lot of donkeys standing around with their harness on, and today we missed a good picture, a very large, elderly Greek woman followed by her small, elderly husband (who else?) sitting sideways on their donkey.

There are small three-wheeled little trucks, almost like the ones in Italy, but these are bigger and not designed as attractively. Much of the work in the fields is done by, and many trailers are pulled along the highway by little two wheeled tractors with handle-bars. At home we would call them a garden tractor. In larger fields there are large farm tractors and other equipment.
