a Trip up the Road


It was a beautiful day so we decided to go to the flea market in Dolega, a town up the road. When we left this chicken was in front of the car and looked annoyed that I was looking at her with my camera. 005

We were driving along and started to notice horses in trucks. We hadn’t gone much farther when we realized they must be having some sort of event in the area.

There was a big field with all sorts of trucks and horses with their people!  046

There were a bunch of riders with blue shirts, and there was another bunch of riders with orange shirts

I really enjoyed seeing so many beautiful animals and their riders.

It was such a clear, sunny day I couldn’t resist stopping to take a photo of the mountains. The colors looked so interesting in the distance.

It just have been quite an event because we saw a lot trucks with horses on the highway, and even back in town!

Since it was such a nice day, we went out on our bikes later. 079

Usually the tops of the mountains are covered in clouds, and often you can barely see them at all. Today, however, it was so clear that there were some really beautiful views!

So, there is nothing major in this post. I just wanted to share a little bit of our day.

PS Apologies for the previous blank, and now missing post. I was barely started and hit the publish button by mistake, so rather than have you all come to a post in progress I just started over. I hate it when that happens.

    Kris, your entries are always interesting! Would like to know what the horse event was, must have been some kind of competition, with the opposing shirts. Hope you are doing well!

      I figured it was a competition too with the teams of matching shirt colors, but I don’t know what it was. We’re doing great thanks! Hope you are doing well too 🙂
