Day 3

Posted by Lisa on July 26th, 2006 — Posted in Activities

Unfortunately, Steve had to go to work on Monday, so the 3 of us headed to Fray Jorge and Valle del Encanto. Fray Jorge is a rain forest situated in the desert and on the water. The last time I went (which was the only time) it was so foggy that we couldn’t see the water, so I had no idea how close we actually were. The road to get there is a dirt bumpy wash board road, that we all thoroughly enjoyed. At the picnic area the foxes were out and we came prepared with some chips for them. We had a great time walking around the foggy wet lush park and taking beautiful pictures. The sun even came out! We then headed to the enchanted valley for the petroglyphs and pictographs. It’s amazing how these etchings have lasted for 4,000 years. We also got to rock climbing. We got back home at 7:30, and quickly prepared for our happy hour at 8 pm. We had a bunch of people over and had great music, wine, food and conversation. Cara and I lasted till the wee hour of 4:30am, while the boys ditched us around 2am.

On a more embarassing note, I wanted to share a little experience I had yesterday. Many of you know, that I am very particular about bathrooms. I really like using my own and it’s a long standing joke in my family. So, of course in the middle of Valle Del Encanto, I had to use it. There was no waiting for the next 2 hours, so I used the most foul thing ever. Now, you may ask, why didn’t Lisa just go outside? I didn’t think of it, I was in a near tizzy at the prospect of the bathroom, and wasn’t thinking straight. I of course, took a picture of said bathroom. So Dad, be proud, look what I used, I am now scarred for life and may have post traumatic stress syndrome :)!!!!!!
