the first waterfall on the hike, which isn't even Maracas Falls
Maracas Falls--the picture doesn't do it justice, but it's a huge beautiful waterfall off the top of the mountain through the jungle
at the foot of the falls
So we found directions on the internet and drove to the foot of the trail, where the web guides said there would be "security" and a "carpark". Sure enough, there was a house and a sign that said "security carpark" with room for about one car to park in the lawn. Which we did. Then we met Jerome who proceded to offer to be our guide on the hike. Which we accepted. We are glad we did because we probably would have gotten lost plus he knew a lot of cool things about the surrounding wild life. And he knew this cool trail off the main trail, that we followed for about five minutes bringing us to another smaller waterfall with pools where we went swimming.
it was pretty deep!
We made it back in time for a quick shower and a movie matinee-- The Social Network. Then back home for quality time with our baby boy before it was time for bed.
Since Nicholas is a year old now I figured it was time to post pictures of the nursery. We've already passed the cute bumper and mobile stage.
Our accent wall. We would have painted the whole thing but on the other three walls the cathedral ceilings are too high. Hopefully we'll get the border up soon and the room will be complete.
Fall decorations! Need to make some pumpking baked goods now!
