Morning at the River

We walked down to the river in the morning.  Our town is at the very top with two steep valleys on each side.  One side has a large, wide (but not so clean) river and the other side has a much smaller and cleaner "river", Rio Pisagua.  At the edges you can find lots of natural springs and there is a thick shade of trees above.
 
 
In the picture below Papi and Sofi are walking along the terraced edge where the ladies used to line up and wash their clothes before there was water up to the town (about 10 years ago).
 
 
I can't wait to go exploring more places like this.  I am from the Blue Ridge Mountains, the home of beautiful hikes.  Sometimes I just catch myself staring in awe at the beauty of God's creations!

  1. Beautiful area. You must have mastered the laundry as Papi's shirt is Snow White. I am enjoying reading about your new life. Would love to visit with you when you return for your work stint.
