Afternoon Adventures

Hi all!

This afternoon we went on our waterfall expedition.  We can't agree on the name, but the waterfall was gorgeous.  Getting there was half the fun, as our travel was in one pickup and a Jeep, with most of the minors in the pickup truck bed.  Parents, rest assured.  No one fell out and we are all still alive.  We had a beautiful views of the mountains and a valley on the way up a narrow dirt road.

Everyone decided to hike to the very top of the waterfall.  Well, maybe "hike" isn't quite the right word.  It was more like a mountain climb, featuring large rocks, sliding soil, tree roots, and steep cliffs.  Slip-sliding back down was even more adventurous.  Once again, we are all still alive.

At the top of the waterfall, we enjoyed the beautiful view and putting our feet in the water.  Some of the team members explored a little more.  We also saw a shrine to Mary.  Once we returned to the bottom, all but a couple of our team members swam in the freezing-cold water (not unlike our showers).

Pray for a good night's sleep and a great first day of work tomorrow!
