Two VERY exciting things to share...

#1: I went horseback riding for the first time since I've been here. Obviously I didn't ride this little guy, Juaquin, because he is only a few months old... But I did have a chance to ride both Canche and Nico, two of the older horses. It was a blast, and I can't wait to do it again...


Behind me you can see my new house... I feel so blessed to be able to walk out my front door and see this precious little guy and his mom, Princessa, grazing and frolicking around the ranch.


#2: I got to play with a scorpion! That's right, a real live scorpion!!! Oscar found it in the rocks and somehow pinched off his stinger. When he brought it to Karen and me, I thought he was crazy for even touching a live scorpion, but after realizing that it was now relatively harmless, I simply HAD to play with it. The poor thing must have been incredibly traumatized, but nonetheless, he kept me entertained for quite some time, crawling up and down my arms and legs. Quite a cool experience...


My New Favorite Creature from Guatemala...
that is until I get stung by one that still has it's stinger intact... :)
