In light of yet more disasters in the world, I thought I would add a spot of light. It may not cheer everyone up, but we are estatic that Caitlin is now a little bit happier in Iceland.
Why? She is learning a new, well, sport? Today, in the very cold weather (maybe 40 F?), she started horseback riding lessons. Ever since she saw photos of Icelandic horses back in February, she has been extremely excited about the idea.
I thought about doing a tour (many, many horseback riding tours here), but a child her age has to have experience or they cannot ride. A-ha! Experience! So, I wrote one of the companies. Well, they don't have lessons except during the summer. If things go as we plan, we will not even be here most of next summer. Hmmm....
Well, one day Cait and Kels had a playdate with another expat child. The mom (out of the blue) mentioned horseback riding lessons. Triple-strength coffee could not have gotten my attention faster!
She gave me the phone number of Reith Faxabol. I called, but they were booked until October. ~Sigh~
So, lo and behold, last week I received an email from Faxabol saying that lessons would start Saturday, October 8th. Without further ado, Caitlin started her 10 week sojourn into the art of Icelandic horseback riding today.
Now, with my luck, of course, the camera died. However, next week it will be fully charged and I will have pictures of cowgirl Catla D.!
