-woke up had a crepe, and met my friend to go to the waterfall, got a tasty pineapple shake and negotiated with the tuk tuk driver to go to the waterfall, wound up paying $5, which is a little much, but it was a long ride and the guy sat and waited for us the whole time we were at the falls.
-At the entry into the falls they have a bear rescue center, spent a while watching the bears. 

-Playful critters they are, they had all sorts of toys and bear hammocks set up. funny to see a big sun bear hanging in a hammock just like a person.  they also had a strange and completely inaccurate portrayal of other bears from around the world set up.

-From there it was just a short walk to the waterfall, which has these beautiful blue pools underneath the main falls.

-There were a lot of people around, so the lower pools were crawling with falongs, to avoid this scene, we hiked up to the top of the falls and swam there.

-headed out to the front to buy some beer to drink before we caught the ride back, on the way back with our big beer Lao(s) we passed the british girls we shared the tuk tuk with, they were ready to go, but we were not, so they had to wait for us to be ready to get the ride back, but we drank quickly and were back before an hour had elapsed.
-sat and talked music for a while before going our separate ways.
-Ate some indian food for dinner, ran into colin briefly, but he was on a mission. spent the night hanging at Utopia until closing time as usual.
