Horseback riding in New Zealand!

So, we took the opportunity to go riding on horseback here in Kaikoura at sunset. actually our ride started around 3:30pm at the footfills of the mountains. we rode with two guides, Julia and Kate. it was just the four of us. since julie and i have ridden, they let us do whatever we wanted. wow! i haven't ridden in so long! it was so much fun to bring that back. we walked, trotted, and cantered. it was all english style, of course. i loved it. we went over streams and in streams. we went over rocky land and hills. we went through bushes and forests. it was fantastic!

i'll talk to you later! i have to go, the internet place is closing!

we're going to wellington tomorrow which means we get on a ferry to go to the North Island!
we are leaving in 5 days! i can't believe it!
i'm so excited to see sarah in L.A.!
