Legends of the Fall

Last week flew by, it hardly seemed like it could already be the weekend. I started my Friday by having my body sort of shut down on me. My stomach was hurting, which sadly caused me to miss work at the Wawa Wasi for that morning. There's no real bathroom there, so yeah, I will just leave it at that...

I fell back to sleep for about 2 hours, and just felt pretty off. By a little after lunchtime, I developed a really sore throat and headache. Those little kids gave me their germs, how kind of them! By dinnertime, I was ready to call it a night. Luckily, Elyse and a few other girls didn't want to go out either, so we huddled around a computer and watched "Love Actually." By the end of the movie, I was pretty sure I had a fever, so I just went to bed because I didn't want to miss out on anything tomorrow.

I woke up at 5:30 AM to say goodbye to the departing volunteers. There are only 9 of us in the house now (there were 20), so it is significantly quieter now. We left for our waterfall excursion around 10 AM. We traveled all over the countryside, visiting various sights along the way. We finally made it to a small village and walked through the trees to find our way to a beautiful waterfall. We spent the afternoon there, admiring the scenery. It was quite adventurous! We walked through knee-deep water, and had to cross over many small waterfalls in order to make it to the grand finale. After our time there, we visited the village and a few small stores. I was definitely ready to head home, very tired, and had to get ready for tomorrow's llama trek!

To be continued...
