Climbing a Waterfall

After a day of hiking through the mountains the group made its way back to our hotel in Nebaj. With a quick lunch and the burst of energy that followed though Andrew, Justin, Rose, and myself were back out trekking the beautiful countryside of Guatemala in search of a 75ft tall waterfall. Well, we found it and man it was a neat little sight. Around it was a small oasis of jungle it seemed or at least jungle like underbrush.

Taking this is a once in a life time chance Andrew and I decided to climb it. Though I was not wearing shoes and my flip flops clearly wouldn't due, I still looked and Andrew with a smile on and said, "lets do it!" Taking off my flip flops I went at that waterfall hobbit style. It was a quick and fun little climb till we realized we couldn't get to far up before we ran out of material to climb on. So, we settled for half way, made our way back down and before we went back to the road Andrew stopped and looked at me with one of his "you wanna?" looks. I looked to where he nodded his head and was excited to see a tall hill we could climb as a short cut to catching up with Justin and Rose who had already started on their way back. With a smile he knew my answer and we went at it. It was fun to conquer that hill and certainly a fun walk all together.
