Today we hike. There are many hikes at many levels of difficulty in the park. We chose intermediate and 5.5 kms. I made us wear our packs to get an idea of how we might do in Peru. It was great. The path is well marked, rises really quickly and makes your heart pound but maybe not as much as the vistas that open up as you walk. Jacob acted like a mountain goat, this is his forte. Each thing that we do here reinforces how much I love being out in this camp world. Our last night here,sweetly sad to leave. Good night and sweet dreams .
