Today we went on a horseback riding tour.  On the taxi ride there, I looked out my window and I saw and elephant!  There was an elephant, two camels, and a bunch of black ponies.  When I looked closer, I saw that it was a circus.  The horse that they assigned me was named Tamarindo.  Alex’s horse’s name was confetti.  On the trails, we saw lizards and beautiful trees – it was like an untouched land.  We went up the mountain and I was the leader.  I saw a baby deer standing right on the trail we were on.  It was so close that if my arms were double-size, I could have touched it.  We walked and trotted and cantered along the cliff sides until we reached a waterfall at the top.  When we got to the waterfall, it was beautiful and, since we were the only family on the ride, Alex took a pee right in the pool of water.  Then we went back down the mountain, walking, trotting, and cantering some more.  When we reached the bottom, lunch was waiting for us at a small, open-air restaurant.  We had nachos, Mexican rice, quesadillas, and beef.  At the end of the day, we sat on the balcony and watched the sunset – again.  Later tonight we’ll see the fireworks from the pirate ship – again.  Paradise!
