We awoke this morning to rain in Cascadel. The mood outside the house changed considerably with many of the pine trees peeking out from behind the fog. It was quiet and beautiful.
Alastair and the girls walked down to the waterfall to find it quite transformed by the rain. The rocks the girls had scrambled across on Saturday were now covered in a gushing current.
Alastair, Katherine, Ross and Sussana also ventured to Oakhurst to visit some of the art galleries there.
We went to the Mexican restaurant again for dinner to enjoy some of the excellent cuisine. There was an article from a local newspaper on the wall that explained the philosophy behind the food. The couple cook the authentic food of the region in Mexico from which they come - I think it was the northern central region. So it is not the “taco bell” Mexican. Apparently when they first opened 15 years ago they struggled because the locals were looking for the Americanised Mexican. But they now accept and look for the different food. Ross and I had prawns cooked with chilli and coconut - yum. Alastair and Sussana had the pork chops - very tender and delicious. It came with rice, beans, broccoli and shredded squash.
