Carlo, Ajay and Joyce's horseback conquest part 1

MY USUAL DAY today (saturday) was turned into such an extraordinary one with the arrival of my friend carlo_carmine with his two friends from New York whom he promised to bring them at the monastery to observe the kind of life that we have and as well as to do horsebackriding....

My prior superior Fr. Christian gave carlo his word during carlo's recent visit, (to the monastery and joined us in our Sunday activities with the monks and resident guests), about a day's joyride with his giant-but-tamed-and--gentle horses.

The three arrived at the middle of our TERCE prayers (at 9:00am) and afterwards, i met them outside the church and was formally introduced to his two friends: one was a lady named Joyce, a Pinay medical doctor at St Lukes hospital Quezon City Phils., and another was a dark-browned complexion guy named Ajay, a South-American guy from the country of Guyana-this reminded me of its people who did a mass suicide that happened years back, that was brought about by their thoughts that the world will soon come to an end at their doorsteps and etc etc....both are currently studying at a medical school in New York. they're classmates in one of their subjects. Ajay is a nursing student, and Joyce is taking an advanced course in her field of specialization.

I introduced Joyce and Ajay to my Prior superior afterwhich we proceeded to where the horses were, and there they had their rides of their lives.....
=== I was supposed to get back at once to my work station as guesthouse cleaner of the day but my Prior, the workmaster of my community, told me to stay put and join the fun of it...

so, the following images will bring you to a so much fun of our day's horsebackriding under the scorching heat of the sun.
