Hola, All! Yesterday´s adventures entailed riding a horse, cabello in Spanish, for 1 and a half hours. I was with other students from the school, mainly 3 moms with their kids. Of course, I got the horse with an attitude! He knew where his place was...fifth in line. Everytime the horse behind us tried to pass us, he would nip at the other horse! Or if we were doing down a wide trail, he would zig zag so that no other horse would pass us. The scenery was alsolutely beautiful! There were times we could see all the way down to the valley, seemed like it was a mile below us. Other times we would be riding in the clouds! My favorite part was the last third of the ride, when we were riding in the forest on nothing bigger than a hiking trail and it was so foggy that I couldn´t see 20 feet in front of me. It would have made great scenery for a scary movie! Another interesting thing was when we got almost close enough to touch some wild bulls. It was cool also getting to see them run, kind of like dogs runing. My booty got a little sore, esp since I have such a boney one!
Love to all, love reading your comments!
Chao for now!

With all the dancing, riding, cooking, hiking, zip lining etc., it is surprising you also can fit in your Spanish lessons, but I bet you practice speaking Spanish at all these other activities too! I learned some new Spanish while we were in West TX this week - Palo Duro means hard woods - the canyon was named that by the Spanish conquistadors because of all the trees in the canyon. Buenas noches mi amiga!
