A Cactus City

NW of Iguazu we stopped in Salta, Argentina. The city was full of the coolest cacti I had ever seen. We ran into the same friends we had hiked with in Patagonia and went on a horse-back riding trek with them. It’s nice because you just keep running into the same travelers in the next city and it feels like you have friends all over the country! Our horse trek was really fun, it was on this little ranch about ½ hour outside of the city and up into the mountains. My horse was a little crazy… he kept trying to bite my leg! I had to show him who was boss and he finally stopped. Then we got to run the horses (sorry Als I know you would have loved it...I thought about you!). It was a bit scary… I thought I was going to fall off. Ha ha, I didn’t think I liked horse-back riding that much until now. It was a blast! At the ranch I learned how to lasso the skull. I was pretty excited about it cause it was really hard at first. But yeah, i love learning random skills!

  1. TERI!!!!! My heart hurts. I am so jealous! That sounds amazing. I'm glad you liked it because now I won't have to beg you to come horseback riding with me anymore... I hope. Miss you!
