27 waterfalls

during semana santa (the week before easter- a week staff had off) we all ventured down the highway past puerto plata to a FUN place.. will was in town, benjamin had the day off, and the chichiguan dudes could go. perfect.

destination: 27 waterfalls.

essentially 27 waterfalls is, well, 27 waterfalls. creative. we walked to the base of the mountain where we started the hike up.. THEN for the best part- jumping/sliding/climbing down all TWENTY-SEVEN waterfalls! it was freezing but after the hike and with all of the adreniline it feels amazing..
on the way to 27 waterfalls..

robin and amanda.. READY!

afterwards with our hilarious guides.. soaked and happy.

sorry there are no pictures of the really cool parts (the whole hike, cliffs, and waterfalls).. i didn't really trust the guide's ziplock bag to adequately protect my camera..

*there was actually a not-so-fun part of the day- we waited on the side of the road for a gua-gua to come by and just kept getting passed up SO i waved a truck over (score!).. we hitchhiked back to puerto plata in the back of a truck which was totally fine UNTIL the police pulled them over, made us get out, and took them away (maybe because we'd been in the back). stink. i hope everything turned out alright..
