friday

Today we got up for breakfast and then headed out to the barn. Breakfast was awesome! At the barn, we first split up. Morgan is now with our group for the work part since she is living at the pension with Ebner and Russell, cuz no family could hold 5. One group let out thr horses and clened the stalls while thr others brushed the horses in the other stalls. Then we all took turns milking the cow. The others then cleaned their side. We all then brushed the ponies. Thy were dirty! We went back to change and hsve lunch whuch was as usual, delicious. We decided to go to the market "downtown" and picked up Morgan and Ebner on the way. I tried this street food which is like an elephant ear without the sugsr with salty cheese shredded in it like a taco. It was tasty! I didn't buy anything becsuse they said it was cheapo there. Then, we saw Silivia's group who had been there all morning cuz their homestay said it was too cold outside to work. Psh... Before we headed back, we got some apples to snack on and Ebner got milk. We then headed back to the barn where basically all we did was fill the trough from the well for the ponies. We tried to take the cow Stella out for a walk but she flipped out when she had to walk past the dogs and she ended up tramplinglig and prancing all over. It was hilarious. Last, we all took turns riding the best tempered horse, Luchia.  It freaked me out cuz it wasnt a western saddle with a horn and the first time since like i was 12 maybe, and had gotten thrown off, so i only went around once. We then returned to our rooms, showered snd ate an amazing dinner. After dinner we went to go see Morgan and danced all the way there. She had a a headache and wanted to go to bed but we stayed on the porch and talked. Russell made us try the traditional tuica. 18 is the legal drinking age here. I only had half of a shot. It burned and was gross. Ebner, referring to its high proof, calls it surgical grade alcohol. My face and ears burned for awhile, so i guess  red face from alcohol runs in the family. The only neat thing about it is that every family makes their ouwn tuica.  The one i had, the guy puts a pear branch in the bottle and lets a pear grow in it first. Then we came back, used the wifi, i facetimed my parents briefly and then went to bed.
