A cascade that's recently formed with the rainy season. I've seen it from afar and hope to hike out to it soon.
Called ¨quebradas¨ (¨breaks¨), the many creeks freely flow over the main road. Sometimes they´re pretty hard to cross by car. Come October, when it constantly rains, there might not be any crossing at all.
Another quebrada, it´s getting harder and harder to cross with dry feet.
View from the top of our volcano of the San Vicente volcano out west. I climbed that beast... Hoo Rah.
I had the troops line up to try and show how steep some of the hills are. This still doensn´t do it justice. Trust me, some of these hills are brutal. From front to back, Franklin, Sulma, Melli, Jesica, and Betty.
This is one of the many creeks formed by natural springs that lead to a bigger river. Right down from our backyard. I would have loved to come here as a kid, and show my excitement in this picture. Betty in front, however, thinks I´m weird.
This is what I´d say a typical house looks like in Los Cimientos. Sticks and mud... or ¨bahareque¨ as they call it down here. The walls actually protect better than you might think, but the bugs are everywhere and you´re constantly dirty.
Great answers to some great questions. I feel I have a better sense of your situation now. By the way, how do you say James Lipton in Spanish?
