#3 - How to travel first class in Mexico

[leilaniroseb]

After the cyber cafe, we had to travel a mile up hill to reach our destination at Yelapa, the 150' waterfall.  The hike was long for some of the older people but there were plenty of friendly merchants along the way, I did a shot of tequilla (which I hate hard licquor and refuse to do but they told me it was a high quality - the result it wasn't bad).  I especially enjoyed the merchants that carved the Rosewood found on the way.  There were banyan trees, flowers bigger than my head, elephant ears (I have one at home that grew 3 gigantic leaves - the ones on Yelapa have 30 gigantic leaves) and butterflies bigger than my head.  The place was amazing and as close to Hawaii that I have ever come.  It was very tropical.  We reached the waterfall and it was more than I expected.  I wanted to go in but my reserved self held back, but that is when I realized I had to go in.  It was hard to climb over the rocks I almost slipped and when I was actually in the smaller rocks in the water were very sharp.  I moved closer to the waterfall and the water became much colder.  I was about a foot away from the waterfall before I decided it was time to get out.  I did enjoy every second of the refreshing swim and the land of Yelapa.
