Sierra de Lobos
("Mountain Range of Wolves")
The mountains on the outskirts of León are called the Sierra de Lobos (pronounced see-EH-rrah day LOH-bohs), or the Mountain Range of Wolves. I went here on a picnic with my friends one afternoon. We didn't see any wolves, but we saw a lot of cows (or "vacas" - pronounced VAH-cahs). This was a beautiful area in the country for a picnic. We went hiking through the adjacent woods after we ate. Below are some of the photos of this area.

In the distance, some unexpected visitors arrive and crash our picnic!

A friend of the cows shows up to guide them home. We followed them for a sneak peek at where they live.

"How does my hide look?" |
"Are you following me? If you are, do you have any leftovers??"
|
"Don't you get tired of eating this grass, Betina?"
|
"Let's stop and get something to drink."
|
"I'm ready to go home."
