We Are Flying Solo

February 17, 2010

The First Step Of A Fabulous Adventure

Not exactly Solo related (although I wish I could take him), but it's horse related so I'm posting it because I am TOTALLY FREAKING EXCITED!  I just sent in my deposit for the following trip this fall:

A hacienda to hacienda ride through the high country of Ecuador.  Galloping through the high volcanic peaks & valleys of the Andes & experiencing the unique culture of the Cordillera for seven glorious days.

 
This shall be me!!

My mother & I will be undertaking this adventure together (and yes, those who know me, I have already sent her links on where to purchase her helmet, LOL) in grand style.  Ok, maybe I will be undertaking it in my usual dorky style, but still....

T - ....uhhh, however many days are between here & September 4th!!!!!

  1. Ooooooooo! That looks like every twelve year old girl's dream! I, too, have the "wanderlust gene," which has not been satiated in quite a while. :-(
    Did you ever get the catalogs from Cross Country International? I used to flip through those and dream of galloping down the beaches of Southern France and jumping stone walls in the emerald-green Scootish countryside. *sigh* Someday!
