Last week in Puerto Vallarta I got to go on a horse riding shore excursion. We took a bus into the mountains and were hooked up with some horses to ride on for an hour.  Here's what followed:

Me and my horse: Cannario (cannery)

His favorite thing to do was race. Keep in mind I haven't been on a horse in a few years...this proved to be quite interesting, especially when trotting or kicking (thankfully no galloping!)

We also had the opportunity to ride bareback and swim in the river...not very comfortable, but quite the experience.

Throughout the trail we had plenty of opportunities to cross rivers...really cool

A great way to see the countryside...luckily I wasn't too sore the next day (we had a show).

After the ride we went back to the house and had some tequila tastings (the Mexicans sure do love their tequila). The best of all the tequilas was the peach flavored tequilas...flavored tequila is quite big down here, but they aren't allowed to export yet...too new I guess. Be on the lookout thought, especially for pomegranate or peach tequila.
