Sunday afternoon Bingo took Niki and I to the "source". What is the source? Well it is the natural spring that is capped off and supplies clean water for almost everyone in this area. I beleive it is a 8 mile line with several water stations in-between there and the mission.
This first picture is a path we drove down off of the main road to head in the right direction. We then parked the car and walked the rest of the way.
Along the way there was this big tree, in the middle there was a whole with this devicein it. It is a sugar cane extractor.....not sure if that is what they call it but that is what it does. You sit on it like a one ended teeter-totter, as you (kind of) bounce up and down as someone puts a piece of sugar cane between the two pieces and it presses it. There is a small canal along each side of the bottom part and the sugar runs down toward the end Bingo is on. There is a whole that the sugar then drips/runs out of and they collect it.
This is the source.

This was our treat at the source, a stick of sugar cane. YUMMY! 
We then hiked back down while we ate our sugar cane.
This is the main road that takes us back to Kobanol. You can see the rain clouds in the distance. It is so beautiful up here.
