Today we went out to Ribera de Barca a.k.a. "Porto". We left in the morning from the Plaza. Brett and I thought it might be nice to bring a bottle of wine, but couldn't pass up the chance to bring grog that was sold in a beer bottle for a cool 100 escudos. I didn't realize what a trek the SED's have to get to Assomada. It was really crazy how good the timing worked out in that as we were riding along we ended up coincidentally picking up all of the other volunteers that were going. We were lucky enough to have Chase as our guide, because there was no way we would have found the waterfall otherwise. I for one didn't realize how far from town it was. The waterfall was incredible. Walking underneath it was like taking a shower. At least it was the closest most of us have come to a real shower in a very long time. The walk to and from the waterfall was equally amazing. The valley was very green and it looked a little reminisce of an oasis. Afterwards we all went to Jaqueline's house and met her family. We went by the water and had some food, and ended up staying out a lot later than I think any of us even realized. At about 7 when we asked about catching an hiace back, we were told that there would be no more. Oh man, I though Tuga was going to be pissed. Luckily some of the LCF's were there, and Jacqueline was able to get her brother to bring us back to Assomada. All in all another good road trip.
