I just had the most incredible, unreal experience! Myself, Sara, Layne, Matt, and Tag just went horseback riding along the beach. It was crazy awesome. The horse guide people were with us, but didn’t care how we rode our horses or if we stayed in a single file line. At first, when we were on the trails, we all stayed together, but when we got onto the beach, our horses were running wild and it was a blast! The view was incredible no matter where we were, parts looked like Hawaii. The horses even galloped for part of the time and I felt like I was going to fly off. There were moments when all I could do was laugh hysterically because the whole experience was so beautiful and thrilling. We went through grassy trails, huge sand dunes, and through the edge of the water. The horses liked to splash through the water. The ride was about 2.5 hours long for the equivalent of $20. It was sweet.
Today is day 4 of a great four-day weekend. I really have had an awesome and relaxing weekend. Another fun thing we did a couple days ago was eat out at this crazy expensive seafood restaurant in JBay. It was on the beach, with our toes in the sand and we stared at the water as we ate. After all these years of traveling, I can finally say I’ve eaten something weird. I ate crocodile!! It’s actually really tasty if you even have the chance. I also ate oxtail, which I’ve never heard of before, but it was probably my favorite, among other things like prawns, crab, lobster, lamb, springbok, venison, mussels, oysters, and calamari. I don’t even want to know how much I would have to pay for that in the States.
Anyway, it’s been nice to have a few days to just chill out and relax after going strong for more than two months.
And one more thing, if anyone feels like they want to send me a letter, please feel free. It’s just that I’m feeling a little left out because I haven’t gotten any mail since being here and everyone else gets letters and packages quite a bit. I’m not trying to get sympathy, but just if you think of it…
