I went horseback riding today with Beth's boyfriend, Leno. His son, Rodrigo, is partners with a rancher named Javiar and they run a horseback riding and hot air ballooning adventure business. Last night, Leno and Rodrigo rode up to the hotel/bar where we were - we were in/on the rooftop bar, looking for fireworks. Today, they picked us up in their van at 12 noon and we headed out to a canyon in the mountains. The ride to the ranch was 40 minutes. And the horse ride was 3 hours long and VERY authentic. We rode through desert and mountains, up steep trails, and down into rivers. We galloped alot. I felt pretty safe, though, because there was a couple from Barcelona with their 5-year old son. It was alot of fun. Rodrigo took many photos and filmed us galloping, but apparently he makes a DVD to sell, so unless Beth gets the photos from him, I may never see them. We got back at 7 p.m. and I REALLY wanted to be able to jump into a hot springs pool then!!
Just a few photos here....

I'm dead tired and staying home to do laundry tonight. It's 10 p.m. and it sounds like all the bells in town are going off. They've been silent since yesterday morning and now they're ringing for Easter. Tomorrow at noon, we're going to the Jardin (town center) to watch the "exploding of Judas."
