After around three months of sweating like a pig, a few neighbor friends finally invited me to the river, known as El negrito, to cool off. On one hand, I was very appreciative that they finally invited me to go. I knew about the place for a while and really wanted to see what it was like. On the other hand, I was a bit upset. I don´t know why it took so long for this to happen, as I always thought I was a pretty nice guy. Who knows? Anyway, a small group of us went to what I thought was a standard river and found the most beautiful little swimming hole. I kept wondering how a place out here in the middle of nowhere with nothing but fields and hills could host a tropical paradise. So, after a few months of thinking my site had nothing to offer, friends have changed my whole perspective of the place.
(A 50 by 50 yard pool of clear water. According to my friends, now, during the rainy season, the pool is "dirty." In the dry season, it sparkles a luminous turquoise. In the far corner of the picture you can see a small waterfall. One, the rocks are quite smooth, so it´s actually a nice waterslide. Also, the path back there leads to a cave. So cool! And as this picture is sort of white-washed by the light of the sun, so it doesn´t even do the place justice!)
