Today was our last full day in Chile. We went horseback riding near Con Con. The ride of almost three hours took us through marshes, sand dunes and along the ocean. The scenery was beautiful. There were a few scares with horses not cooperating (one decided to sit down and then play dead because his saddle was too tight) but everyone returned safely. My horse was determined to sprain my leg by bumping into things but he didn't succeed. We had four great guides riding with us. After the horseback riding we had a barbecue at the ranch. Tonight we have our farewell dinner at Diego Pizza with friends from Santa Maria.
