Most of today was reserved for a long, hot, but rewarding hike to Verettes falls. The same water place that former guides "didn't know the way to". We can't blame them though--the path was rocky, narrow, uneven, and miles long. We trudged along uphill for more than an hour, not to mention the scorching sun. It was endless--or at least that was our attitude before reaching the falls. They weren't exactly huge, but that was the good part.
They created a pool at the bottom in which you could swim, fight the current, or just lean into the waves. A step up in the form of unique entertainment was the fact that you could climb to the top of the cliff-wall bordering the waterfall, and jump off. Or you could go behind it and dive through to the front. On the way back, we passed many Haitians returning from the market, and stepped aside so they could pass. They were all friendly, and responded with a weary "bonsoi", carrying on home, bundles on their heads. It was just like evening rush-hour.
