Waterfall Trek

So amazing.  We ventured out on a "jungle waterfall trek".  One minute in, Alina asked for a piggy back.  I really wanted to do the hike and was willing to carry her the entirety if need be.  The mud got thick, she asked to be put down and she became 'Queen of the Mud Jungle'.  Off my back on a 4 hour hike with river crossings, slick rock traverse, 12" deep mud puddles... both the kids had an excited attitude and eagerly approached all the physical challenges. (two oreo's and an apple at turn around time) There was a campfire along the way.  Some village men were hunting wild boar. They had filled up a 4' hollow bamboo pole with fresh shrimp from the river.  Put a plug on top and bottom.  Added water and spices and cooked it over the fire.  YUM!
