Yo monte a caballo: Huaraz IV

I rode a horse on the Peruvian countryside and saw some amazing views.

Low lights: Manuel, my horse, I’m sure is very good on most days. But on the day that I got him, he got way too closed to a parked truck and rammed my right knee to the edge of it (where the metal rim stuck out). He happened to be trotting when the collision happened so, for one scary moment, I thought my knee had shattered. It’s been 3 days now and I’m still limping along, but fortunately, I don’t think anything’s broken.

Highlights: (1) Sushi lunch complete with miso soup and chai tea. (2) My friends also surprised me with a chocolate coffee cake to celebrate my birthday in December…Sweet!
