The weekend before last, we hiked to a waterfall a mere 4 miles from our house. We meandered through a huge coffee plantation in full-on harvesting mode, through a forest of stunningly tall trees, including the magical and colorful rainbow eucalyptis, and saw a lovely additional waterfall on the way. Our destination waterfall was a glorious gushing 60 foot flow of water pounding into a pool below, where we swam. It was totally exhilerating to get so close to such an intense and wild force of nature. Asa and I swam around and Eva dared to get in with her floaties and stayed on the edge. All the kids played in the pools and on the rocks, and we had a picnic lunch in the middle on some big rocks.
After hiking out, we got to town in time to check out the farmer´s market and go to the best ice cream store in town--Pops.
