Howdy cowboy!

4^th of July

We are now updating from the Running-R-Ranch in Bandera County, Texas! It is now 5.37 PM and we’ve been out riding the whole day. Louise liked it a lot, but Lena, Rebecka and Nathalie wasn’t quite as thrilled. The weather was extremely hot, around 36   ̊C! We were sweating a lot up on those horsebacks! Our guide, Roger, told us a little about the nature and the animals, and also about the different native American- tribes that used to live in Texas. It was really interesting and he knew a lot. He could answer every question we had.
When we were riding over a small stream, Nathalie’s horse got a bit tensed and rose on its back legs. Unfortunately, she fell off, but she’s feeling fine now. Her arm hurts a bit though, but it’s not broken, so you don’t have to worry there at home! She hates horses now though.

Chili con Carne - typical Texas food

We’re soon going to go out on the garden to eat some dinner, and I heard that it was Chili Con Carne today, which is traditional Texas food. Lena, Louise and Nathalie aren’t fans of beans, but what don’t you do for the culture? After the dinner the ones who wants to can try to herd the cows, and Louise is super thrilled. She says that she’s been wanting to do that since she was a little kid, so… good for her!

Oh, the dinner-bell is ringing, which means it’s time for us to stop writing and start eating! Take care!

Love,

Rebecka, Lena, Louise and Nathalie
