Hillcrest in Haiti

WOW! Today was absolutely awesome! Aside from all of the sweet kids and cuddly faces that we got to entertain we made an excursion through the wilderness into a beatiful waterfall. Technically we weren't in the wilderness but the roads that we trecked across definitely had a landscape of their own. We figured it was about a 5 mile hike to reach a small yet breathtaking waterfall in the mountains. As we neared the falls, we encountered a 100 yard wide dried up riverbed that ran at the foot of the mountains. Along its white-washed stones we could see small and slowflowing streams scattered about. We walked carefully along the stones up to a valley between two of the many mountians, here we discovered a more steadily flowing stream. Futher and further up and into the valley our guides led us and we eventually came across a small yet quick waterfall. We all were taken aback by the incredible landscapes both at the site of the waterfall and on our way to it. We took many pictures but none of them will come close to actually seeing it as with any beautiful scenery. Nate, Ryan, Kelly, and I climbed up further into the waterfall and encountered even more stunning sights. Eventually we all carefully slid down its 12ft drop into the shallow pool below. Overall it was an experience that my group and I will never forget. -Brett-
