These are our horses. Our horses are amazing!

Today we got up, had breakfast at our place and then went to check out the butterfly garden at here at the ecolodge. The butterfly garden had a so many beautiful butterflies, including the Blue Morpho, one of my favorites! Later on we rented horses to ride up to the La Fortuna waterfalls. It was a nice, sunny day and you had a good view of Arenal Volcano. I really enjoyed it, especially when you made the horses go very fast! Dad, Tobin and I always raced to see whose horse went farthest. Mine won almost always! At the waterfall we had to hike down a million steep stairs and when we got there the water was freezing! I still went in it and tried to swim against the waterfall but it was too powerful. Hiking back up the steep stairs on our way back was so tiring! On the way back home we enjoyed riding the horses so much that our guide let us ride them all the way back to the stables (instead of dropping us off at the lodge). When we really had to leave we came back to lodge for a bit before going to have pizza at a restaurant called Vagabundo. Vagabundo's pizza was yummy and they had a kitten there. After dinner we walked home (which took a while) and then went to bed.
