Final Day in Montezuma

Today is my last day in Montezuma. I decided to take a hike to a nearby waterfall....this time I checked around to make sure there was an actual waterfall to see!! The hike started just up from my hostel along a small river. I left at around 9am in hopes that it would not be so hot and there were less people around...sure enough that is what happened. The walk was a nice leisurely 15 minute walk and very peaceful. You could hear the water running in the river over the rocks, birds chirping and lots of tropical sounds I was not so familiar with. The waterfall appeared just as I turned a corner. It was average height and not as large as it could be during the rainy season, but a nice size anyway. There was only one guy there eating a picnic lunch...he even offered me something to eat...how sweet!!! I decided to go for a swim and was quickly greeted by cool, refreshing fresh water. I could have stayed there all day, and would have, but soon it started to get too crowded with people. I left around 11am and headed to the beach for the afternoon. Along the way I decided to check out the Saturday market...mostly people selling fresh food and bread. As I arrived at the beach entrance I came across some horses tied up waiting to go on a walk...there is something about horses on a beach that is so magical. On my walk to find a spot to enjoy the afternoon sun, I saw a few people surfing. I can see why so many people get addicted to this sport...lots of adrenaline and what a workout! I took some final pictures before heading back to my hostel to freshen up...this is one of my favourite parts of the day after being out in the heat sweating all day. I plan to go out to dinner tonight with some Swedish people from the hostel and watch the movie 2012. Then it is back to my room to pack by bags. Next destination... Playa Santa Teressa. Until then...
