Waterfall of the Eternal Flame


Yes I went outside again a miracle I know. We went on a hike to the Waterfall of the Eternal Flame and it was so beautiful. We felt like we were back home in the mountains (much greener mountains though). The kids loved splashing down the little slate lined stream to the waterfall. Looking all the time for fairies and fairy houses. Because David told them this is where fairies live. The falls themselves were amazing with the little flame flickering behind them fed by natural gas leaking from the hillside. While hiking I had an epiphany. Hiking in a place with this many trees
you don't get sunburned.
It was such an exciting
discovery.

Oh wow it is really beautiful! You area good photographer!

I love that Dave told the girls to look for fairies -- it does seem like a place they would live -- a perfect adventure for little girls.

That looks like a great hike. I love the waterfalls and it's so cute to think of the girls looking for fairies. Good job getting out of the house again this summer. You'd better take it easy, you don't want to overdo it!

It's always a treat when Dad has time for a family outing! Looks like you guys had a great time. Enjoy, but don't get addicted to the sunless outdoors, Chan, we want you to come back someday!

It's pretty there but I think you need to think about coming home now. I agree with Kari, I don't want you to like it too much.
