Banos

We are in a beautiful small village called Banos. Last night we went and spent 3 hours soaking in the hotsprings and dipping in the fresh cool water. Today Noelle, Vienna, Mary and I went on a 4 hour horseback ride. It was breathtaking and bun Burning. I am really looking forward to the hotsprings tonight. These horses could gallop like no others and wow is it a challengle for a person like me who is a tad bit scared. We road high up into the mountains and got to see some spectacular flora and fuana. They seem to grow everything in this valley so we saw lots of farmers working. Then came the even scarier part when we had to ride down the mountain on narrow trails on cliffs. What a sigh of relief I breathed when we arrrived at flat groung. Yet not for long . Up we went to La siete Cascada A (huge waterfall) where my bottom got a short break for a breath taking swim in the freezing cold water. Then of course the girls wanted to gallop the whole way home. I have to admit that by the end I think I was getting the hang of it. The town never looked so good and flat ground was incrediably refreshing for me. I goota go for the hot spring.
