These are waterfalls at a property I looked at before deciding on Finca Silencio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A month before this photo was taken, the owner of this property slipped and fell here,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and she was critically injured, laying in the water for hours before being found.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She broke a lot of bones and was in very rough shape. Crazy stuff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nice waterfalls, but the property was strange, and it definitely wasn't the right 'vibe'.</div>

As I dig around and uncover photos I haven't posted </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anywhere yet, I will post them here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
There will also be quite a few repeat photos from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'other places' where I've posted a lot of photos already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But here, they will hopefully stay, until the internet breathes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's last gasping breath, and the lights twinkle out forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

to come on down and check it out in person!</div>

In this video that I took by the Guabo River at Finca Silencio, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can spot a big blue morpho butterfly fluttering by </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you watch carefully! I didn't even know I had caught it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on video until a couple of months after getting home </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and reviewing my footage.</div>
