Kenric WhatsApp’d the hotel owner’s son asking if there is an animal clinic in town. He replied “Yes”. Well, it is our own fault for not being more specific, so we replied, “Where can we find it?” The owner’s son came up to speak with Kenric. He said it’s quite difficult to find the clinic and offered to walk us there. Kenric said we should be fine, so the young man pinpointed the location on Google Maps for us.

The walk there took about 20 minutes, but we didn’t see anything that resembled an animal clinic. We walked around the block and decided to ask the people at the store where the clinic was supposed to be. A man walking back with his coffee looked at us, and I asked if he could help us. Thankfully, he speaks English. Sadly, the animal clinic had closed and the vet has moved away.

I asked if there are other vets in town. He said he knows a good vet, and asked what we needed. I said I would like to have a dog that hangs out at the Bulevardi sterilized. He doesn’t know if the vet does operations like that. I said I would like to at least buy some flea medication from him. He called the vet, but the vet is not in town today. He gave us the vet’s phone number. We have yet to contact the vet.

Uznova doesn’t see many tourists

We decided to walk to the next village, Uznova. Kenric walked there two weeks ago. It was a nice walk. Most people looked at us with curiosity, and smiled back and or nodded. He pointed out the corner where a group of young men were gathered smoking pot last time. A man driving a tractor and both his passengers smiled and waved. When the driver saw that I was taking a photo he gave me a thumbs-up. Later, another man walking his horse also smiled and waved when he saw me taking a photo.

Uznova is a farming village in a beautiful setting. We saw olives, grapes, corn, persimmons, figs, pomegranates, etc. The olive trees on the mountains were especially beautiful. There were a few four-storey flats and many stand-alone houses. We saw a few shepherds. One was guarding his one cow that was grazing not far from the road. We nodded when we first passed him.

On our way back, he was chatting with a friend by the roadside. When he saw us approaching, he cautioned us to not get too close and held the cow’s swinging tail down. We walked further out on the street around them. I thanked him “Faleminderit”. Both of them were surprisingly amused and had big smiles. I threw in a “Mirupafshim” while waving. Judging by their laughter, they were even more impressed. That made my day.
