The Hike to Uru

Footbridge on the way to the waterfall.



There are several small villages in the area. I ran into several young boys who were escorting an incredibly adorable bunny. I asked if I could take their picture and they were excited. I petted the bunny and thought about Heifer International before I asked a question that I already knew the answer to, "Are you going to eat the rabbit?" The boy holding the bunny nodded vigorously and smiled broadly. I had just petted their dinner. So cute, yet so nutritious.

Coffee bush!!!--and giant slug. To give you an idea of proportions, the coffee bean (green in color, just to the right of the slug) is about the size of a cranberry.
