September 23 - Horse Riding Day

 This day we had planned to go to the house of Naroa's host mom, Fran Stone, Alba and I were going to go, but in the end she couldn't come because she got sick, a pity since she rides horses, I woke up about 10, since at 11 I had to go to Fran Stone's house (who lived in the same town but very far up the mountain), so I had my potato waffles and sausages for breakfast, I got dressed, and they took me to her house. Fran Stone since my host parents were away all day. When I arrived they showed me the house, which was huge and had a lot of animals, from dogs, cats, ducks, horses to peacocks, and like Fran I had to go horseback riding with Hanna (Naroa's host sister, who She is German and spent a term there), so Naroa and I stayed inside the house chatting and playing with the animals. When they returned they gave me horse riding lessons (very simple, it was my first time), so we walked around the house several times, when we finished, we all went to have lunch at a Supermac's that was in a nearby gas station and then they took me to back home. When I got home, there was only Thomas in the house, since Dillon had a game and Alannah was working, so I was playing with the dogs, I also went out to the garden to jump on a trampoline they had and I was also watching television. When Alannah arrived from work I was chatting with her until dinner, when two of her friends came and brought Chinese food (with Irish touches) and we had dinner. Then I went to listen to music and finally go to sleep.


Here are some photos of this day:
