Villager on his horse

Here is a closer photo of the villager with his horse. He did not feel quite right when I first took his photo, as I showed yesterday, because his hat came off when he mounted his horse to pose for my photo. He was content with this second pose.

This little episode with the villager and his horse and house illustrates the friendliness of the Costa Rican people. I think there are a lot of countries where people would resent or view with suspicion a foreigner like me stopping and taking a photo of their house. This gentleman came out of his house to add to the photo. He felt that if I was taking a photo of his horse and his house, then he should be on his horse.

We have photos of Dubrovnik, a gem on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, posted this week on our travel photo site, Viva la Voyage. Come take a look.
