Estancia (ranch)


Finally I have some pictures to share. They aren’t mine though. One of my friends from the crew, Adrianna, escorted a shore excursion with me and she had a digital camera and was able to burn a CD of the pictures that she took, so I can share those with you now.

The trip we went on was near Montevideo, Uruguay to an Estancia (ranch) where we saw real Gauchos (cowboys) do sheep shearing and dancing and horseback riding. We had a great lunch with all the children in the family (about 12) serving. Then everyone got to go horseback riding and I told them I already knew how to ride and they let me run with the horse. Then we went on a hayride out to a beach where all the family rode their horses along the surf. It was a fantastic trip. Both Adrianna and I had a great time.

The first picture is of the dancers doing some drumming. Then there’s Adrianna doing the hayride. Two of the boys in the family riding next to us. Adrianna took a picture of me on the trailer for the hayride. And then there’s the family riding along the beach. Katie
