Things that go bump in the night

Yesterday, driving between Samara and Nicoya, we encountered these beasts walking down the road by themselves.  Not a soul around.  They were walking neatly down the right side of the road – safer than most kids around here – pulling their little cart.  When the oxen reached a gate they simply stopped and waited.  We had to assume they were used to the routine  and that someone would show up soon to open the gate for them.
