Horsing around

The girls were very happy to ride horses this afternoon. We started with riding in a ring area where the girls learned how to hold the reins and how to post (go up and down in the saddle)while trotting.

Then we went for a little ride around a nearby lake. The girls loved it. They both felt that it was better than elephant riding, so I guess that's quite a compliment.

We're now downtown where we've enjoyed an hour of folk dance performances. Hungarian dancing has lots of feet stamping, leg kicking, and jumping. The men did a performance with leg slapping, boot smacking, stamping, jumping, and shouting, and all this in unison - quite fun. More is to come so we'll be heading back to the stage shortly.
