Day 17


Today was a very fun day indeed. We woke up later than yesterday so that's already a bonus and then we went off to the rodeo! It was so cool! And dangerous too - bhut I was a safe distance away on the bleachers andjust watching. It was dangerous for the people competing! :) I was perfectly safe filming most of the show. There were bare back riding and saddle riding on the horses, then there were other competitions were they run out after a steer - for those of you that don't know whatthat is its the equivalent of the maltese "hasi"! Anyway they run after him on horseback obviously and they gotta lasso the thing and hold it and then jump off the horse and tie his legs and he has to stay there for some time for their time to be valid. That was quite cool. Then there were the races in chariots and in carts and one guys horses hit the other guy's cart and he got toppled over to the side thank God and no one was behind him but he still hurt his back quite bad. Funny thing was they couldn't stop the runaway horses. There were stunt motorcyclists too - exceptionally cool to see them live instead of on tv. So that was a whole day thing really and even though you just weatch you still get knackered - or else jet lag catching up with me. But I'm not really suffering from it, I think at least! Love to all
