Machetes and Waterfalls | Spicy Joe Bungalows
After our first beautiful night next to the waterfall, we bounced around between Samart’s two sets of bungalows doing hard labor (volunteering). We used old school machetes to clear the land and chop down small trees to make room for a clinic that Samart plans to build for the local Karen Tribe villagers. We had a lot of fun with the machetes, as you can see in the pictures, and we got pretty damn good, but we paled in comparison to the local ladies who could machete a whole damn field in a skirt. After our hard days work, we went to the waterfall to bath, and once clean, engaged in our nightly ritual of cooking, eating, rolling local tobacco and turmeric, and gossiping.
