So after this weekend my new dream is to live on a horse ranch and either give tours of this beautiful country or do something! I would love to ride more. This weekend was so gorgeous and wonderful. Saturday we went to Baldi Hot Springs for a few hours and it was nice, but not nearly as wonderful as Sunday. Btw, we didn´t get to climb the volcano like we had all thought because apparently it is still very active and it´s not allowed. I guess we didn´t communicate with our directors well or I would have known that lol. We will get to climb one on Friday though.
Saturday we got up early and went to the horse place. We rode the horses for an hour to the waterfall where we got off and had to go down 480 stairs to get to the base of the waterfall. There we got to swim for a little bit in the base of the waterfall. It was super cold at first but once I went under it was great. I had to coax everyone else in cause it was so cold...cause how could you NOT swim in the base of a waterfall? Talk about a once in a lifetime chance.
We then rode back to the horse place to get back on the bus. Oh wait, I forgot to mention I had to climb back up 480 twisty, uneven stairs. I don´t even want to go there....I thought I was going to die and just prayed so hard that God would give me the strength to make it up. Obviously I did. And yes, today my butt and legs hurt. But it was completely worth it and now I want to be ¨cowgirl¨although that cant really be the term cause I want to work with horses lol. Riding horses here in nothing like at home...we were able to go faster and all kinds of fun stuff..not like in the U.S. when the guides freak out if you get out of line. It was so fun.
Oh, I just want you to know I had a post ready to go with pictures and it had taken me an hour to get ready cause I had to download all my pics to the computer to do it, but then it had an error when posting so it deleted itself and I had just deleted my pics off the computer so I couldn´t repost it. I´m so sorry, but if you want to see the waterfall I swam in (and pretty close the actual waterfall), you can google La Fortuna Waterfall and look at the images.
Once again, thanks for the comments and emails! It was so nice to read today when I was having some homesickness and needed some encouragement!

It was good hearing your voice last night. Glad you're still alive.
So I've got about 40 hours left in the states. I'm totally unprepared, as usual. Just thought I'd let you know.
