Free Day!!!

Today was a great day!
I went horeseback riding this morning with Heong and Linlin so we joked that we were the most culturally diverse group, and would almost have to be on a billboard for Alma. It was about 2 and a half hours and the horses just kind of walked and knew the trail. My horse headbutted me at one point, but it was fun and kind of intense at times. Going down hill, especially in the ruts, was crazy and my horse got stuck on the mountain and the guide had to turn her around and guide her down a different path. It was a lot of fun and I am glad I finally got to ride a horse for the first time. I also got pretty sunburnt, sunscreen and all.

When we got back, Heong wanted to go to a Korean Restaurant. It was pretty nice; I had never eaten Korean food. Heong talked in Korean to the owner and ordered for me. There was so much food!!! A lot of rice which was really good with an egg and ketchup on it and then three sides and soup and green tea to drink. I couldn't finish it, and I was bested by these 2 little Asians. They were so excited to have food from home. It made me really want a fried egg sandwich like we have on Saturday mornings-yet another craving.

Then I went and finished my shopping. I really hope my suitcase isn't too heavy! It will be really close.

Later I went back to the school and waited for people, then I went and exchanged money. We went out for ice cream as well which was delicious.

Tomorrow we leave very early for Macchu Picchu which I am excited for. I am not sure what I will have for internet access next week, so this may be my last blog posting, but I will be keeping my journal and can add to it later. So thanks to everyone and I hope to keep you posted but if not, I hope to see you soon!
