This weekend I went horseback riding again. I had been planning to go last week but it was rained out, but this week the weather was fine. This time we went through Bagaces and then along the Pan-American highway for a while on a trail. There is a good restaurant some kilometers out of Bagaces that we stopped at. The place is on top of a hill and it has a really good view of the surrounding area, including a nice sunset. Returning was quite a bit more difficult because the sun had gone down and there was no moon. Luckily the horses knew where they were going and they have pretty good night vision, so we got back to the stables without running into too many trees.

Earlier in the week I won about $50 playing poker, so I decided to spend it on a bike. I bought a nice 10 speed bike from a former coworker who moved back to San Jose and didn't need the bike. It's made getting around much easier. It takes 5 minutes to get to town when walking used to take about 20 minutes. I also plan to spend one weekend biking down to Palo Verde and finally see that national park that is so close and yet so hard to get to.
