Trier, Germany

Thank you, National Geographic!!!

The photo of the day on Saturday (October 13, 2012) was of a town that I visited when I was 18 years old, and loved - but forgot the name of. :) It makes it very difficult to go back to a place when you don't remember what it is called.

Trier, Germany. Added to my bucket list.

Weekend Rodeo

Part of the series: Experiencing Saskatchewan

This weekend, I was invited to a casual "Rodeo". (AKA games and roping)  

Even though I don't really ride, I decided it would be nice to get out into the fresh air. Of course, the first thing that happened as soon as I got there was that I got put on a horse and went for a trail ride - a first for me!

Thankfully, the riders I was with yesterday were very patient with me, making sure that someone was always behind me during the ride, which consisted of winding our way through some bush, jumping up a hill, riding across the top of the valley for a while (practicing my trotting again - I am REALLY not good at that - very bouncy!!) before winding our way back down the hill through some fairly thick brush and back to the farm.
