I hung out for the dogs for about 15 minutes while waiting to meet the horses.

One of los perros took a nap in front of Franklin’s family home.

Meeting the horses. I requested one who was gentle, and got Mercedes, the one in the rear.

Trudging up a hill with Mercedes.

Going higher still…

Here’s Franklin on the caballo appropriately named Blanco.

Yours truly with Mercedes.

Franklin and I talked at the top for a good half hour.

Felix at the top.

Mercedes getting ready to go back down.

There were amazing, amazing views at the top, including this one that even featured a small rainbow.
