I lived in Texas my whole life, and so I've done most of my running in Texas. When I travel I've always really enjoyed going out for a run. You get views of things that you never would by driving and you cover a whole more area than if you were walking.
It's funny that the only time I can count on seeing Donkey's on a run, is when I visit Palo Alto, California on a work trip. There are two Donkey's that live right in the middle of Palo Alto. Right along a hike and bike trail, past the million dollar 1,000 sq ft homes that are popular in Palo Alto, all of the sudden there is a nice little fenced in area with Donkeys. The hometown of Stanford, Hewlett Packard, VMware, and many other high tech companies also has two Donkeys.
This is the kind of thing I would have never expected.
By the way, I can't remember ever seeing Donkeys in the middle of a neighborhood on any of my runs in Texas. Although I must admit that I have seen quiet a variety of wild animals in my Round Rock neighborhood over the years.
So this was always a mystery to me. Here is the answer as to how the Donkey's arrived in the center of an exclusive neighborhood full of professors and high tech geeks. It turns out they were there first and they have a trust fund to keep them there.
