Horseback riding with Marcelo

My friend Marcelo invited me to go horseback riding at his family's place this past sunday.. I laughed and said I didn't know how to ride a horse and he replied that it would be easy.. I was so nervous but it was such a great day. I LOVED it. Him and his brother picked me up in the center and we drove about an hour and a half to el campo where his other brother lives with his family. Marcelo and his brother showed me how to ride Manela, Marcelo's beauutifull horse and they rode on two others with me past all the surrounding fields and fabricas, we went for about two hours and then came back and played with his nephew, Joaquin, who is soo cute.. Then Marcelo and I took a bus back to Cordoba. When we were horseback riding, there was no problem riding through other family's field's which was strange for me, but really nice to see how they're so open with their neighbors. We also saw some Argentines training dogs to chase rabbits and they go so fast I couldn't believe it. At one point we stopped to look for some white horses that they wanted to check up on and we came upon this vast field of purple flowers.. it was so beautiful, I think it might be one of my favorite places in Cordoba.
