Sunday Trail Ride in Paradise

Another great Sunday in paradise as we saddled up our horses for a beautiful ride through the jungle.  Accompanied by our Costa Rican friends - Milady with her daughter Genesis and her son Claudio.   The morning started out cloudy and threatening rain but the skys cleared and it turned into a great day in paradise with a gentle breeze blowing keeping the air "fresco".  We rode down the mountains this time from our ASL of 680 meters to the lower area around 520 meters (thank you James Bond Casio watch:-) The birds were singing and the horses were full of energy.  We rode for about an hour then detoured into a beautiful creek side area where we had fresh mangos and melons topped off with Donnas cookies.  Off again for couple more hours of peaceful solitude.  What a great way to spend a Sunday morning.  The sounds of the jungle and the melodic clip clop of the horses hooves - Pura Vida!
