Horseback

As much as I have grown to love city life, a day trip to rural Spain is always well needed. Last week a group of SUMC students took a bus to the outskirts of the city where we were enveloped in mountains and could hear the foreign sounds of running streams and the chirping of birds. Many students got the chance to ride horses while others hiked through the paths and took in the fresh air. The day was perfect; I remember calling my mother just to tell her how beautiful the spot was and how I wished she could see the views that I witnessed that day. Sometimes we all need a little break from the wonderful, but busy, urban lifestyle.
