So we went back to this waterfall but this time with our friends from New Zealand who had never been there. It is an amazing drive up to get there. You climb quite high on a narrow winding road with many, many potholes. Along the way you pass by many little nurseries and in the distance you can see lots of rice paddies. It is so beautiful. As we were driving I realized how rare it is to see a patch of grass around here that actually needs to be cut with a mower. People here just don't have yards. Kids play on tiny concrete slabs or on the road. There are no such things as parks with playgrounds here. If you want to go anywhere where your kids can play, you have to pay. Anyways, we had a nice time going down to the falls and seeing a little piece of nature, puffing our way back up and then we went to a neat restaurant for lunch. You eat in your own private little dining hut and you sit on the floor on cushions. It was very nice. Today we just hung around at home with the kids. The big kids had a half day of school today. Mikah went to a birthday party so only the boys came home.
Have a good weekend!
