Horseback ride in Salcajá

---

Yesterday I went on a horseback ride with 6 other students. We went to a town about an hour or so away called Salcajá. Salcajá is a beautiful little mountain town with great views of the mountains and volcanoes ( there are about 30 volcanoes in Guatemala). We rode through the streets as well as through the fields. Untill yesterday, I had not been on a horse in about 25 years! I got to admit I was a bit scared at first. I dont remember ever being being scared when I rode as a child. When one of the horses took off galoping and then shortly there after fell with one of the students on it, it deffinetly added to my fear. THere were 7 of us, 4 girls and 3 boys. The fall freaked all of girls out and we turned around and seriosly considered not riding. In the end only 2 girls stayed behing and the rest of us had a beautiful ride
