On the ranch

Here is more from Ana.
Ana is a law graduate from U.A.M. and lives in San Sebastián de los Reyes.
She's seeing a lot of the U.S. The lovely family she is staying with are really keen on their children learning Spanish.

Dakota has Mount Rushmore, as you can see in the picture.

Well, about 70 years ago, a family decided that if it was important to dedicate a memorial of this magnitude to the memory of four U.S. Presidents, why not one to the American Indians? Hence the idea of building a stone monument dedicated to American Indians, called "Crazy Horse Mountain."
Crazy Horse is funded by a family with the money they get from tourism, which is why unlike the 14 years it took to build Mount Rushmore, this one has taken 70 years, and is still incomplete).

And what about the cowboys?
Well,the mentality in the state of South Dakota is generally of self-sufficiency, i.e. no state intervention, so there are many farms and families and they usually spend day after day working hard. The day begins early, at 5 or 6 am and usually ends with lunch at 12h.

Meanwhile, checked shirt, hat and cowboy boots!
