horse back riding and flowers


yesterday we went up the mountian and found some horses to ride. the trek was pretty rough as we climbed high...fast. we went with our dutch friends who all rode their own horses but greg and i opted to hold paul and hazel. this was not easy to hang on to them while also riding with no handle to hang on to. there was a saddle...but no handle!!! anyway...my lack of love for horses did not grow this day but we had a great time. the view was gorgeous, the fresh air was good, the day was full of laughs. this lady you see in the middle walked all the way up the mountain with us just in case we needed a drink when we got to the top. so we did drink even though we were not thristy :D. after stopping at the hindu temples and the natual hot water springs...we headed back down the mountain and it started to rain...making it a slippery ride for the horses. we all made it in one piece and we are praising God today for the beauty He has put on this earth! amazing! after our trek we checked out the local nursery's for some plants to bring home. both edith and i bargained very well and were happy with our 6 kids...two husbands and 15 plants in the car on the way home. it was only an hour! good thing indo doesn't require carseats!
