the last weekend john was here, now forever ago, we went to manabao and hiked up to spirit mountain with keith, kerrie, and katie, their friend visiting. spirit mountain is a coffee farm that sells coffee to benefit doulos. they have a few trails up to a nice campsite complete with a gas stove and covered platforms. after getting settled at the campsite we all hiked to a waterfall. that evening keith cooked up some delicious chili. and of course we made smores and had some good old campfire conversation. the night concluded with a game of uno. sunday morning we ate pancakes and spent the majority of the day just hanging out at the campsite reading, napping, enjoying the quietness of the mountain and the warmth of the sunshine.
