So picture this... galloping through the rainforest on a narrow trail... huge tropical trees everywhere... native Costa Rican (aka Tico) guides... native widelife... cascading waterfalls... swimming in the waterfalls...wind in my hair & rain on my face... what could be more picturesque??
Well, truly it was a day out of a movie. But let me add a little more to the equation. 4 hours on horseback through the rainforest equals:
1. SADDLE SORE!!
2. Chaffing (wet swimsuit + trotting horse = ouch!). I know.. too much info!
3. Riding a horse in sandals & shorts = cut up/bruised legs
4. It rained the whole way back so we were drenched. But it was actually really awesome & I felt like a little tropical explorer.
So, that was today. It was awesome! Both the spectacular & the soreness. I loved it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat (or after my bootie is a little less sore.).

PS. Sorry there are no pics yet. There's no spot for a camera memory card or USB cable or anything. Maybe the next place... or I can post pics after. Until next time..
