lito and the boys

i caught this photo on the way to flower's bay 

to visit a friend

bob slowed down and i managed to get it from the car

lito, is a nickname for grandpa in spanish.

i am taking the liberty in saying he is their grandpa.

either way i was happy to catch all 3 of them on the horse

strolling down the road.

for many years horses and boats were the main

source of transportation on the island

horses are still held in high regard here.

it is common to see them saundering down the main road.

the other day bob saw 3 wild horses meandering down

by petro sun.. in the middle of the road!

blocking traffic and not worrying about it one bit!

it is moments like this when i realize that life

here still has an easy pace

 no need to rush

just gather up the boys and go for a ride.

i am guessing from the boots on the older man

that they were working somewhere.. maybe 

fishing 

or

working in the yard somewhere

but the young are with the old

together

i love that!
