We hiked along Rio Azul again, but this time it was official. We walked for about twenty minutes threw on a road through a field of blackberries before hitting the actual trail that went along the river. Lots of people were swimming out from the rocks in the deeper, narrower sections. After about forty more minutes, we got to a nice grassy area with an adjoining beach.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go to the bridge, then eat the cookies, then come here,\u201d Dad said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d I protested. \u201cLet\u2019s go to the bridge, then come here, then<\/i> eat the cookies.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was decided. We walked along the edge of a private campground to a gate, where a group of whitewater rafters entered the river.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to do that!\u201d I exclaimed. Of course, we don\u2019t know what company that was, and searching the Internet seems futile.<\/p>\n
Anyway, we continued on to the bridge that was \u201cMaximum 1 Persona\u201d. Ethan went first, followed by me, then Dad. Mom abstained because she was worried she\u2019d lose her balance with one arm in a cast. The bridge had wooden slats as the floor with a couple of inches between each. Once on the other side, we had to wait because apparently we started a trend. After all the people had come over, a couple crossed back, followed by the three of us. We walked back to our cookie beach, but it was taken. Oh, well. We plopped down on a log overlooking the water anyway, munching on cookies and watching Ethan throw rocks.<\/p>\n
By the time we got back to the car, it was six. We stopped at the grocery store on the way home for peas, pasta, tomato sauce, and a pair of blue underwear for Ethan. (He had been hoping for hot pink\u2014he only chose any because it was brightly colored.) Juan, Paz, and the rest are all at Paz\u2019s uncle\u2019s house.<\/p>\n
