Peguche waterfall

Just on the other side of Otavalo from where we live, there is a cool waterfall that is a local tourist attraction. One day when I stayed at home when the patio was being fixed, Amy and Susana and Cristina and all the kids piled into the truck to make the trip to the waterfall. It was a nice sunny day, and they all had a great time. Here they are at a lookout point up near the waterfall. 














I think Susana especially had a good time, since it isn´t often that she gets out of the house for some just plain leisure time. Here are the moms and the kids at the rivers edge. What some good looking kids and moms.


















Here is a farther out shot, showing more of the waterfall. Apparently during carnival, which is different and much tamer here than in other places in south america, what happens is a huge water fight. Peguche waterfall is a popular spot, where the crowds come to throw water on each other and other stuff that I don´t know about.



















Since it was so nice and warm, the kids took advantage of the day and played in the ditch that the city had built to siphon some of the water off the larger falls. They shed their shoes and socks and jumped on in. I remember when I was a kid, some of my fondest memories were playing in the ditch that ran in front of Grandma Lefler´s house.
