Looking for the Horse
... up the line to tell them the train is almost in Creel as they arrived 5 minutes before the train (lucky them :-), stand and wait for as long as we need to. Most people were getting very bored and walking up and down the tracks to pass the time. One little boy had eaten all his train snacks and just sat on one track looking bored. We chatted with travellers and locals, enjoyed the sunshine, and got as tired of waiting as everyone else.
Much excitement - the train was ...

... bikes from 'The 3 Amigos' tours in town, and headed off with a map clutched firmly in hand. We'd barely left the town and I'd already seen a hummingbird and a small herd of horses running down the street!
