Rock Pool

Everyday was a new adventure in the mountain. In the mornings I would go down and wash in the river, a habit that the Indians didn't share. They apparently didn't need to bathe everyday, as they never had an offensive odour. I thought perhaps, they didn’t have as much toxins in their bodies to eliminate as we do in civilisation. They washed whenever it suited them, often they would save it for one of the beautiful tropical pools we passed by on our journeys around the area.
