The River

One of the real treats of working in a village setting is the ability to find hidden gems, experiences that are unusual or different that makes the trip particularly memorable. Our hidden gem this week was a beautiful waterfall near the village of Plan de Ayutla. The group members could walk to the cascadas every day after working in the hot sun and soak in the cool mountain water and shower in the falls, always accompanied by a gaggle of children eager to play and watch the funny looking white people.

As the work day grew hotter and longer, group members would begin to talk about the falls and look forward to relaxing and cooling off. This gem really made living in Plan de Ayutla really enjoyable!
