The parade was beautiful! I expected there to be other things in the parade, but it was just for us! We had wagons, whip crackers, flags, banners, and lots of horses! I was so amazed that there were so many people lining the streets as we made our way through in a U-shaped route. Sombra and Blondie strutted their stuff with a great display of Paso Fino talent! Lots of people pointed to the two of us and said "look at the dancing horses"! Some of our riders coaxed the crowd into loud, long cheers of "Yee Haw"!
It's very strange to be in the truck and travel so fast! After going 3 mph all week, it's weird to travel at 60 mph! We are on our way home to clean up and rest up!
One last wildlife sighting; saw a Crested Caracara yesterday! We are going to miss all the people and animals from this trip. It feels strange just stopping at a rest area; making that adjustment back into moderne society. I am torn. I love my everyday life, but I also love the adventures. Someone asked me if we would be doing the Cracker Trail again. I thought about it long and hard, but what we just did can not be recreated. You can never go back to the first time. There are lots more adventures out there, and Cindy and I will start looking for another one!
My mom used to send me blank journals for my adventures and I finally kept one! Now I have a record of all these great memories!
Thanks for reading this blog!
