  2. Very nice photo and summer feeling. Now in Irkutsk (where I live) is cold and rainy like in autumn. I look at this photo and think about summer :)

    Thank you, Nana :)

  3. I remember when I was in Corrales that nearly everybody seems to have horses behind the house.
    I saw so many different races that I hardly couldn't believe it. I loved the town at once.

  5. Oh yes, Bob, i remember THAT horse ride.... i also recall limping rather painfully from the car to the Sandia Peaks casino for a bite to eat afterwards... We were a sorry looking lot groaning and moaning, were we not! *G*
    But happy, right?

  6. So, as an English rider, would I be allowed to ride in Corrales, or would I be laughed out of town as soon as I started posting? I know -- I'll ride dressage and call it Western. All I'd need is to swap my helmet for a hat.

    And to Natalie, I'm thrilled to hear of someone who lives in Irkutsk! You must get tired of references to Risk, don't you? But when I was growing up, the name of your city was on my lips more often that you could guess.

  7. You know, I really must be a city girl at heart... I first looked at this and thought, "gee, a horse right in the road in front of the car". That's what comes from growing up in Northern New Jersey I guess. Anyway, cool photo, and neat horse.

  8. growing up in NYC, I still can't believe I live in a place where I wake up to donkeys braying and look out the window to see someone walking with their llama
    and by the way, plenty of English riders- you wouldn't feel out of place!

  9. I've lived in NYC all my life and every time I travel outside of the city I get a similar feeling. The beauty of some of the landscapes and the animals grazing....it's very cathartic to the soul.

  10. Is it really that green in Corrales? I always pictured it as deserty and brown like Vegas.

    AWWWWWWWW..I want a horse....a Clydesdale though:)

  11. Last time I got on a horse I got thrown. Mind you I was 12 then, a looong time ago :D

  12. Hi Nana,

    so this is Coralles... what a beautiful place! And I love your blog, too!

    Just wanted to thank you for the great evening in Deggendorf, for being such a wonderful person who bruised her knee (I loved that story!) and for talking so much about good food I could think of nothing else but the buffet.

    I am the woman with the black Adidas jacket and the same black-printed white top that you were wearing the next morning in the breakfast room.

    Greetings from rainy Germany!

    Cecile
