La Cascata

This morning I slept in then got up and hung out for a little while and made a semi-early lunch while people were at mass. After lunch, I headed over to Casa Lapis to meet up with Victoria and Charlotte to head down to the waterfall. We were kind of upset because it was a little chilly, but it was okay. We dallied for a bit and then started our trek. When we got there, there were a few people hanging around lying out on the rocks. There were some dark clouds headed our way by the time we got over there and it looked like rain, but we didn’t mind. We made our way though the river and over the rocks down by the waterfall. It was pretty cool. The rock is a little chossier than I originally thought, though. I think there must be a lot of minerals in the water because it seems like whatever is close to the river is a lot smoother for one and has a layer of like…calcified junk on it. I think that free-standing boulder may still have decent prospects, though. We climbed up over the waterfall where there is like a ledge and a pond that is maybe a couple feet deep and if you walk behind the waterfall and around the corner there is a big river that seems to go on for miles. We waded through it for quite a long while and eventually found some small rapids. It was really fun! We decided to turn back when it started raining and walked all the way home in the rain. Boo! It was fine though. My warm shower felt so nice when I got back! I headed over to Casa Lapis for dinner. I didn’t have a lot of ingredient options, so I created a kind of Italian fajita sandwich thing. I don’t even know, but it was delicious! I fried some sweet onions and prosciutto, sliced some tomatoes, and put it on pita bread. Mmmmm. A little boot leg, but seriously delicious. I’ve never had those kind of onions before, but they were SO sweet and delicious. We hung out for a while after that and went to Caffé d’Italia. 8 AM classes again tomorrow…
