It was a slower morning. We were up early, but spent time writing in journals and playing around the house until close to 10. The view from the house (and the house itself) was incredible. We got bread from the baker that drives through town to deliver. That was fun. He honks his horn as he approaches and if you want bread you can go to the road to get it from his car.
The waterfall was impressive.
Our family climbed in the tunnels to get behind the falls.
We all got completely soaked. But it was very cool to see.
James especially loved having a swing with enough leg room for him to go. He felt like a kid again.
Preston was mad about the short uphill walk to get there. He was having a hard time when we got there. We said he could have a snack when he stopped screaming. At which time he yells "I started to stop!". When he saw the zip line he got a huge grin on his face and was much happier after that.
Ethan loved the balance beams. He didn't feel a need to hold the rope and I kept imagining him falling in the muddy water, but each time he made it without a fall.
Everyone loved spending time there.
It had cleared up, and we had mostly dried out, so we decided to try out the zoo.
The zoo wasn't too impressive, but the views were incredible.
We had a good time seeing the animals, and especially enjoyed the english translations on the sign. They weren't done well and were very funny.
Dinner was at a French restaurant called Marianes. The kids were shocked when Katie told them that the locals actually enjoy eating the heads of the fish.
We stopped on the way home for groceries and James and Brielle picked up sugar cane taffy (melcocha) for us all to try.
