Last Friday, Javy and I went on a little trip to ride horses with our old Spanish teacher. She drove up in a convertible with the roof pulled down, and Javy and I hopped in and we sped off down the road. When we got to the farm to ride horses, we were greeted by many dogs. There were little pigs and a huge pig in a little pen, too.
There were some horses lined up waiting for us, and a few minutes after we got there, we each got on a horse. We went along the path and we saw train tracks that our old Spanish teacher said were there one hundred years ago. We rode for a long time and saw lots of cows. I thought riding the horse was pretty cool, but it made my bottom hurt.
When we got back to the horse stables, Javy and I got off the horses and we saw a cow skull. So our Spanish teacher said, "If you want the skull, you can take it."
Later we learned that José Artigas, who is like the George Washington of Uruguay, used a cow skull for his chair. Here is a picture of Artigas himself sitting on a cow skull.
