Saturday, February 5th

We woke up at about 8:00 this morning and went to the restaurant downstairs to have breakfast. From there we went carpet/tapestry shopping and saw a little demonstration about how they make them. I liked the demonstration, but the shopping got a bit monotonous. After that we went to Hierva del Agua, a petrifiedwaterfall. To get up there we hired a truck to drive us up the mountain. Fourpeople sat in the cab of the truck, while the other six sat in the back, which was completely open to the wind. It would NEVER be allowed in the States, and it was a lot of fun! Oh, and the road wasn't paved. It was a very bumpy ride. Once we got to the top, Wyatt, Ethan, Lucy and Nate decided to swim in the infinity pools there. Ms. Ranee and Abbystayed there withthem while my mom, dad, Mr. Marcus and I hiked down the the bottom of thefalls. I really liked the hiking, it was pretty strenuous, but a lot of fun! We went back down in the truck again and then headed back to the hotel.
