Oxen and Ox Cart Driver

Naturally we stopped our car for the ox cart and hopped out to get some photos of the ox cart and its driver.  He was pleased to oblige us by stopping his oxen and posing for us.

I guess his long pole is to make sure that the oxen listen to him, similar to Theodore Roosevelt's approach to foreign policy in the age of imperialism in U.S. dealings wiht Latin America:  "Speak softly, but carry a big stick."

This week we have photos of the street art of Valparaiso, Chile, posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

He looks like he is very proud of his oxen and cart.

The yoke between the two oxen is also decorated beautifully!

Great photo to show the rural Costa Rica.

Hmm. Somehow he looks equally likely to be from California as Costa Rica.
