Our strategy to stay in a small village to avoid the crowds worked. We had superb spring weather as we walked Friday by ourselves through lush areas, even negotiating stepping stones in a swamp while loud toads sounded the alarm.
We had to use rain gear Thursday, only the third or fourth day we have needed it.
We plan to land in Santiago on Monday!

The feet are a disaster, for sure! I think we both look forward to a day or two without these packs on our backs.
