So lucky!!

So everyday I am blown away with the generosity of the people of this country. This past weekend I was invited to a fellow teachers finca (farm). It was amazing. The trip started with an hour shopping stop, to pick up the food that the cook would prepare for us. We arrived at the finca and promptly enjoyed the swimming pool. This pool looks out over the most breathtaking terrain, with birds and palms keeping us company as we swam. Later in the day we went for a horseback ride. Unlike other rides where the horses know where to go and you really don’t have to control them, this ride was more of an adventure. We took the horse around the finca to pick up a horse that was off wandering. After, climbing the breathtaking terrain we crossed the river, and just like out of a movie, all picked different diffractions to chase down this horse. It was very much like, the movie, The River Runs Through It. My favorite part of the whole experience was when we got back and discovered the little puppies that had just been born. They were not even a month old, sooo cute. Don’t tell my mom, but I was even promised one! I am so excited. I just wonder if this is a smart decision for the puppy. After cuddling with my puppy we rode our horses off into the sunset. That night for dinner we enjoyed tacos, with actual hot sauce. One thing Colombia does not believe in is hot sauce, so it was sooo nice to have some really spicy food. The rest of the night involved, drinks, cards and lounging on the hammock. I lounged on the hammock while everyone else played cards, as I was still feeling sick. I have been fighting something. It was an amazing weekend, put on by amazing people. I feel lucky to have such experiences that show me amazing scenery and allow me to meet and hang out with some of the most caring, and welcoming people I know.
