Sunday at the Volcanoes and Horseback Riding

We had a nice included breakfast at our hotel and then we drove to Mom Bachu volcano and nature preserve. It has 2 craters and you can hike both of them, we did the smaller of the 2 in about an hour, the other takes 4.5 hours. We didnt see any crazy wildlife, but the views were unreal. It was really cool seeing the lake from up there when just the day before we were looking at it from the boat and cutting in between all the islands it made from its last eruption.

From there we drove to Catalina and rented some horses to ride down into the lagoon. We were told it was a round trip down and up of one hour, but it actually took just under 3 hours! Needless to say all 3 of us and the horses were exhausted after. On the trip we saw a couple monocongos monkeys. It was cool seeing the monkeys the day before on the island, but these were just climbing around the trees, could have been anywhere else and were yelling at us and watching us ride.

We drove back, well Tommy did 2.5 hours and I slept sitting up almsot the whole way back to Leon. When we got back, Linda had already returned from Costa Rica...about 4 hours before planned so I headed home and let the family grab dinner and spend some time alone.
