horsey horsey on your way

Last weekend we went with some people that Curtis works with from the Embassy to Horseback ride to a waterfall! I was at first hesitant to go because we didn't know the people, but of course, I love horses so we went. I am glad we did. We had a blast and it was fun meeting people from all different sorts of places. After  being with them we found out that our group consisted of people from: USA (Hawaii, New York, DC, etc.), Costa Rica, Canada, India, Nicaragua, Columbia and Mexico. It was so neat and we only had like 15 people with us! That has been so great about being here so far, is that we have met all sorts of people.
So we drove for about 1 1/2 hours to this place, rode the horses up a mountain, then dropped them off for a little to hike to the waterfall then went back the same way!
Here are pictures to prove it:

A freaky Snake!! 

                                          We were literally hiking in the Jungle! It was beautiful.

The waterfall

Curtis and one of the other guys decided to be crazy and jump into the waterfall pool! We all planned on going in before hand but it was so cold by the waterfall that we all were too chicken to get it. 

 The people that led us on the trail made us all little lunches. They were homemade tortilla like bread with beans on one and a potatoe mixture in the other. They were really good! Or it could be because we were SO hungry!

They wrap their food in Banana Leaves. They are very thick and durable.

A miniature orange Tang drink! 

More of the waterfall..

During the hike you literally had to climb under and over trees that had fallen or trees in the way. It was hard core.

We are so attractive

We then found a Jungle Vine that the guys just had to swing on, of course!

They swung out over a ledge.. we were all just hoping it didn't break over the ledge as someone was on it! 

Curtis over the edge, it doesn't look like it, but it was a big drop down that he was over. 

Our horses waiting for us! 

So after the hike back , we decided to go to a little outside restaurant. It was a place were you catch your own fish and they will cook it for you. It was fun watching the others catch their dinners! Curtis and I drank our Coca Cola's while everyone else got drunk and ate their fish. haha We still had a good time! We all danced to our hearts content and some even taught me some latin dance moves.

Watching them catch their fish

The guys

Us girls dancing

This guy was from Nicaragua and didn't speak any English but was teaching me some dance moves

This is a video of me trying to dance .. haha

I don't know what was happening but I guess it was funny

Curtis and I danced a little too! I wish they filmed it but we only got two pictures and this was one right after we stopped dancing. haha

It luckily never rained on us

The dancing crew. I'm pretty sure the workers loved us. They blasted the music so we could enjoy dancing even more. 

The vast array of alcohol that they were all drinking. Don't worry, we stuck to Coke! 

We had a blast and everyone was so nice! The people were fun and it made for a good little day trip.
