The Simple Life

Being on the mountain and hiking a canyon really soothed my soul. I was able to witness the simple life of the rural people. There is something about walking on foot and passing people who get around by horseback or people carrying fresh beans on their heads. The sound of the breeze and the rain on the trees is so musical in the canyon.

It’s also interesting how kids live in these places. Kids I know their same age are playing video games. These kids are sweeping and chopping wood with machetes. I saw a little girl carrying bananas on her head and she looked so cute! Another little boy was riding a horse alone down the dirt road. The pastor’s sons took us to the waterfall wearing only flip-flops. I’m sure these country things are nothing to them, but I was impressed!
