San Augustin was freaking cool. Not so much for the ruins. The ruins were really cool, if not a little strange. I'm not sure what they were all about, but they were the impetus for the visit to San Augustin. Anyways, I liked the ruins. But the best part about San Augustin was the horse to person ratio. In San Augustin, it seemed like everyone had their own horse. At least one. Actually, it seems like a lot of people had more than one horse. Someone would be riding a horse, and leading another horse by the reins. And the horses were not just for riding. Oh no. Most of the horses in San Augustin were rigged up to some sort of contraption that they pulled around with them. A lot of times it was a wooden plank where its owners could sit under the shade of an umbrella and drive the horse around. Or the plank behind the horse was loaded up with stuff, fruits and veggies, bags of flour, or tanks of gas, and the owner just walked along side it. In the streets horses always had the right of way, and all the towns men were clad in cowboy hats and ponchos, just in case you couldn't tell this was cowboy territory.
