Day 10

The French family.

Just as I got set up, they blew past the "don't go off-trail' signs with an indifferent glance and proceded to walk out to the base of the falls and monopolize the place for twenty minutes - chit-chatting, washing their feet in the water, wading across to get pictures from right below. All while 40-50 others on the observation deck and the trail were held up waiting for them to finish. Completely indifferent to all the other people growing increasingly frustrated with their selfish behavior.

Finally, a mid-60s Icelandic woman standing next to me screamed at them to "get the hell out of the way". They looked back at her, feigning incomprehension. Others joined in, waving arms and yelling. Indignantly, they slooowly gathered up their things and sauntered back the way they'd come, not deigning (or perhaps not daring) to look anyone in they eye as they left.
