Waterfall hike near Tapalpa, Jalisco, Mexico

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:06:55 GMT

How high is this waterfall? Someone on the trail said it is 150 meters high. It falls in kind of two sections. We camped last weekend near Tapalpa, Jalisco. This was for Johnny's birthday (although this is Luke in the picture). It was a little rainy one day, but we were still able to build a couple of campfires.

El Salto del Nogal waterfall

The one hour hike to the bottom of the valley and then up the river to the base of the waterfall was worth it.

Universal Studios

In mid-April we spent a week of vacation in Southern California. With Amy's sister and her family (Doug and Sheri Bouws of Rocklin, CA!). Our first day was spent at Universal Studios in Hollywood. They had a lot of cool rids and great shows. My favorite was Water World -- a pirate show on water with lots of stunts. The Simpsons ride was also pretty amazing. Our day at Universal was spent with the Lee family from Cuernavaca, Mexico!

Disneyland

A couple of weeks ago we spent a few days at Disneyland in S. California. As you can see, the castle in California is not as big as the one in Florida. We had fun, and the lines weren't too long. We wished we could have had more time at Disney's other park in CA -- California Adventure. We ran out of time and were only able to spend a little time there.
