We are still enjoying our trip as much as ever, but have gotten a little bit lazy on the blog. Therefore I'm putting up a few quick posts today with just pictures and brief descriptions before we take off on our bikeride through the vineyards!We got up at 5am today to drive to Casacada de las Animas with our friend(driver) Mario. Most of the ride was filled with beautiful scenary such as the photo to the left that Sammar took of the mountains in the five minutes that she was awake during the ride!
Once we arrived in Cascada, we took off on a guided walk to the namesake of the area, the cascada de las animas(waterfall of the spirts). It was a beautiful hike with stunning views of the mountains, a very cool old-school water filtration system that was built into the mountain, and fun and refreshingly cold waterfalls that I would have swam in if only I had brought my bathing suit instead of my jeans. We also got to learn some more spanish since our tour guide, Raul, only spoke a little bit of english.Finally, we stayed in a beautiful and cozy log cabin with a furnace as the sole source of heating. After a few failed tries, I finally got it lit(amazing, I know)! Sammar and I fell asleep at 8pm next to the fire after a bottle of wine and didn't wake up for a few hours when we realized we should probably move to the bed. Overall a relaxing and fun day outdoors!
