Today is our last day in this small mountain town. So many things to see and only a few weeks here. Guess that means we will return again...soon I hope.
Yesterday we were invited to a Fiesta where about 150 cowboys rode into town on their horses. Something you would never see back home.
We were treated to tacos and tequila that could be mixed with Coke or Squirt a lemon flavoured soft drink.
A parade was held afterwards where all the horsemen rode into town. Ponies, stallions and even a brama bull were here for all to see. Several horse drawn cartridges were also included.
The next day we saw one of the horses, "Nelson" outside of El Retiro restaurant in town. Two things going for this horse, first he dances and second his hair colour matches Danna's.
While walking around town I saw this fellow wearing the nice white hat and a huge mustache. He said it was OK for me to take his picture.
I also found this sign for Coka Cola painted on the side of a building.
Back to Hacienda Contreras for dinner but first Danna wants a ride on Don Quixote the donkey. First Sal had a test ride to see if he was in a good mood then it was Danna's turn.
Don Quixote needed to be coaxed along with the reward of some ground oats which he ate as if it was candy.
Here we see Sal leading Don Quixote along with Oliver the cat.
Danna is riding off into the sunset only to return in time for dinner.
The ride is over but her butt is a bit sore.
After the ride we sat down for dinner with our friends. A fitting end to this wonderful holiday in Valle de Juárez.
No animals were harmed in the making of this blog. Thanks to Sal and Barb for making this a memorable vacation. Of course special thanks to Don Quixote who had to carry Danna around the fields.
