I don't know how much time I have left on this island. My purpose here may be coming to a close. Thus, I have decided I will expedite my explorations. I have a concho. I have an urge to see things. I have a pen and a notebook. I have a camera and a memory card. Here we go.
So I went to La Confluenzia. It's on the outskirts of Jarabacoa. It's a little dilapidated. It's where the two rivers merge.
There were about ten children on horses. They wanted me to ride their horses, each of them came up and asked me - even after I had told the first three no. I didn't feel like spending the money. Then once I pulled out my camera a couple of the pushier caballeros came over to take a picture of me on their horse. I snapped a couple pictures but didn't stay long because the kids wouldn't leave me a lone.
After leaving the Confluenzia I went out to Salto Jimenoa. Salto Jimenoa is just past Hato Viejo and to the right. Salto Jimenoa is a waterfall. I didn't go see it though because I didn't have much cash on me. Overall today was a bust. I did get some pictures of one really cool house though.
