Richard walked down the 242 steps to the bottom of the falls to get the picture above.
We were mobbed by vendors when we stopped in the parking lot to see the waterfall. They were begging, selling, and wanting to watch our car. Richard cut a deal with one guy to watch our car for 10 pesos.
We strolled to the overlook at the top of the falls. Pretty impressive. At the overlook, we met a very nice family from the area. Marianne is using her Spanish more than usual on this trip. Marianne started a conversation with a contemplative nun who was sightseeing with a friend. The nun had received permission to leave the convent from her Mother Superior. The order was founded by Maria Magdelena de Encarnacion, and is devoted to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament; her convent is in Santiago Tuxtla.
We made a stop in the Jardin Botanico Luis Bianchi on the road to the falls. It was perhaps the quietest place we have been on this trip, with a view of the surrounding hills.
