Afterwards, Heather and I met up with Emily and went to a nice little oasis on Lake Togo where we stayed in a cute little hotel for Christmas. We ate well and got to go swimming and even got to go out and do some activities on the lake. It was a nice relaxing Christmas.
Me at the beginning of the hike; the landscape reminded me so much of Jurassic Park!
Heather and I on a bridge on our hike
A neat tree
The beautiful waterfall!(that's me below)
Trying to cross the falls to get to the waterfall
Heather and me in our Santa hats at the bottom of the waterfall
We all ended up jumping in to the cold water... in our underwear :) We were all just girls and no one was around so we just did it
Annie figured out how to do a black-and-white mode on my camera; Heather, Annie, and me below
When we got back, we made snickerdoodle cookies in Annie's Dutch oven while listening to Christmas music!

Emily, Heather and me in a paddle boat we rented .... for some exorbitant price for only 30 minutes of use ... 
... But we enjoyed ourselves enormously
Emily went fishing with a bamboo stick and a piece of string that she bought off of a Togolese fisherman. We didn't catch any fish though. I tried and all I caught was Heather's hair.
Heather and Emily coming back from fishing on the shore. You can see a canoe in the background that the Togolese use to traverse the lake.
