After such a cold winter, the roads were exceptionally bad. At any time, the three hour trip can be full of excitement, but on Friday and Saturday we had even more fun than usual. We came across the normal cows walking down the middle of street, although this group had a grandmother and three boys on a donkey leading the cows. There were also unexpected patches of road where there was no pavement. Instead, there was a filler of rocks (definitely not little pebbles) and dirt to try to avoid. At one point the sunset was just ahead of us. Beth started to drive a little faster in order to catch up for good pictures, only to be stopped by huge patches of missing road that could only be crossed at a really slow pace. At another point, we saw traffic that was supposed to be on our side of the four lane, divided highway driving on the other side because the road was much better over there and they could go faster without risking loosing a tire on a rock in the middle of what should be the road. Thankfully, we didn't have to contend with this when we were coming the other direction.
We were rewarded by a great day at the hippodrome. We saw a concert, met up with friends, and even saw parasailors. This was all on top of all the traditional horse activities. We got to see so much that it will take me five different blogs to write about all of it and share pictures. I hope you enjoys the stories.
