Daddy tried to bring Malcolm over to pet Dixie but he wasn’t sure. He’s still a baby and cries.
That’s ok, More horse time for me!
Vivian wanted to switch horses and I didn’t mind. More horse time for me!
This is where it gets interesting people. Daddy took Malcolm back to nap so mommy was left in charge. Mommy usually has me on and off that horse as soon as possible. I think she’s seen Gone With the Wind one too many times. But…Vivian wanted to go on the trails and because her mommy said yes my mommy said yes!
The two horse trainers suggested we take the ‘Japanese’ trail since the ‘American’ train was a bit muddy after a rain storm the night before. Don’t be fooled, they are both part of the American compound.
I kept waiting for my mommy to find out more about the trails but it never happened. So instead here are some three other facts about Baguio.
Camp John Hay, where the U.S. Compound is is named after Teddy Roosevelt’s Secretary of state!
The Ambassador’s residence at Camp John Hay is where the Japanese officially surrendered to the U.S. during WWII, or right after I guess.
The Japanese trail is a little scary. Ok, that fact is from my mom. I thought it was tons of fun. But I could tell my mom was a little worried. Chocolate’s trainer tried to reassure her and told her Chocolate knew this trail well, but she was still worried. I could tell by the way she was muttering to herself.
But once we were on the trail we had to go to the turn around point, so more horse time for me!
We “finally made it” to the U-turn point to quote mommy. Isn’t it funny halfway around the world and I’m on U.S. property!
