Today's adventure included a jeep tour on the beaches of Corolla NC in search of wild horses that inhabit the islands along the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Our guide Wiley was certainly an interesting character - he even commented that Tim Tebow has been given a raw deal and should be the starter for the Philadelphia Eagles... at least he knew his way around the dunes and beaches. Wiley's knowledge of the horses did not disappoint - within minutes of arriving on the beach, we spotted the first of many wild horses along the water's edge where they cool themselves.
Behind the dunes, many more horses could be found feeding and frolicking about. We also encountered two stallions fighting as one tried to encroach upon the other's mares. Wiley provided some local history about the horses as well as the barrier islands which he calls home. Our day ended with a wonderful Mexican dinner at El Azteca in Norfolk, VA. Despite three years of high school Spanish, Vinny was unable to pronounce most of the items on the menu. However, that didn't stop him from getting his meal on! Tomorrow, we stay in Norfolk and enjoy the beach along the Chesapeake Bay.
