Dede's Post

We had an amazing ride in the Andes today with our surefooted horses and our friendly guide, Daniel. Hi to our neighbors, Max, Chloe, and Nicholas who have joined our followers. It is mid 80's and sunny in Santiago and I am in heaven!

Horses in the Andes



DeDe, Pop Pop, and friends, Nona and another Pop Pop, all went horse back riding in the Andes. We went to 7500 ft, and saw a snow-covered peak over 15,000 ft, even though it was 90 degrees where we were. The Andes look like Arizona (dry desert) mixed with the Tetons (rocks that go straight up).

Wonderful start of the trip.
