Today Kwao took Kylie, Lauren, and I on the famous waterfall hike. It is along the same road as the hike of death, but more towards to ocean. We stopped at Black Sand Beach (also famous) for about an hour to swim and climb. Only, it was a little scary becuase we had to watch out for schools of fish and Barracudas. But, we just stayed towards to shore and swam around. The water was great and it was nice to get a good swim in (without rocks). Kwao took us on top of a little island near the beach with a great view of the land. The spot we were at was very special becuase it is where the two big ocean currents meet.

We also visited the old Spanish ruins that are nearby. There was a large, deep structure built behind the buildings that we tried to guess the purpose of. Cellar? Holding place for slaves? It was fascinating and very neat.

The hike to the waterfall was mild and very pretty. The waterfall itself was not running very much but the effect was still amazing.The freshwater gathered in a deep pool that we could swim in. The water ran in a small stream down the hill. It was quite refreshing becuase it was very cool.

I got to try a wild almond! There were a few trees near the waterfall that Kwao pointed out. He cut them open to eat.
