After arriving in Arriondas (Asturien) Bego picked me up. This is a woman living in mongolian yurts in the countryside of Asturien with a horse, sheeps, goats, a dod, two cats and chicken. She has approx. 20 yurts, she lives in one of them, another one is for helpers and in the rest are factories, storage space or an exposition about Mongols and how they live. At the entrance there is the biggest tent, the 'teahouse', so cute decorated, very colourful and she has a lot of games there. The tea is also very tasty!
I worked there 3 weeks. The same day I came she bought two little goats, too. We had to feed them with milk from the neighbours cow. The first two days it was really hard, because they didn't know how to drink from the bottle. We also had to be careful, no milk may enter their lights, then they die immediatly! But later it was so easy to feed them! And they were screaming for milk all the time beginning in the morning, they waked us up!
I also had to water the garden every day, sometimes made bread, painted some poles, painted the structure with Kayleigh and Vincent together and clean the tents. Every weekend Bego open the area for visitors and the can make a round through the tents and learn something about the mongolian lifestyle. Very interesting! Outside they can play some mongolian games and at the end they go inside the teahouse for a tea, of course and can play some more games there. Often we helpers played together with the visitors and Bego some games, often the same and I won this game very often!
During my three wekks there, different helpers come and went, so Vincent was there all the time. Other helpers were: Andy from the UK, Jonathan with his 2-years old child Frida from the UK, Kayleigh from the USA and Emma from the UK. We helpers had a lot of fun there, but sometimes trouble with Bego...
After work we often went for a walk or drove to the city, with Kayleigh we went to the next city for a drink and hitch hiked back or we just went to the neighbours with the internet access and tried to talk to them in spanish or with hands and legs ;)

The surrounding was so beautiful, so green with hills and we always heard the bells of cows. I have never been in the Switzerland, but I think it is similar!

One weekend I was hiking in the Picos de Europa, but this is an own topic!
