still day one

so, after our 4 mile run...and smoothie and iced coffee breakfast. we went out for a hike. 4 miles again! dude, my mom is going to whip this body into shape, believe you me.

we walked through guava and passionfruit and mango...and over muddy rocks and through banyan trees that looked like the kind of fort every 10 year old dreams of having.

the best part though...was the bamboo forest.

bamboo ...so tall and slender it's like walking amongst a forest of spinsters. or a forest of choir pipes. and it does feel like being in a temple of some sort. likeyou have to start whispering as you walk through a giant cathedral of choir pipes clacking against each other. dense and thick and encroaching on the path like it's just waiting foryou to leave so it can take back its land. they reach for the sky and then the fan-like featheriness at the top creates a ceiling. when you peer left or right it gets dark within 10 feet. creepy and beautiful and silent.

we made it up to the waterfall and it was splendiferous, really...but the bamboo forest was magic.

and i have yet to go swimming!

time for more smoothie.

and this is still day one.
