Hi! Tito here! Just last week I watched as Elizabeth, Olivia and Eric rode off one morning on Mr. Socks, Paloma and Silky. They didn't come back for 5 days!
They rode on trails through the mountains that were steep but the views were spectacular.
The days were hot but they cooled off in the waterfalls along the way.
They visited with their friend Betti,


who cut some sugar cane and pressed it in her horse run trapiche.


Yum! That looks good and refreshing. A pure energy drink to send them on their way.
They visited Javier's farm, he is so proud of his peanut plants.
And they rode with Eduardo through the Corridor de Las Lapas.


Time for some more refreshments, harvested from high up in the coconut palms. Pipa any one?


It was a grand adventure! Why didn't they take me?
