This blog I will kill, if it doesn't behave

My little blob doesn't seem to want to post photos right now. Sufice to say, my dad and I made it safely into Santiago! We were sopping wet and everything was molding and the city had never looked so good. I feel really bad for all the folks we know hiking a week behind us, because all of this weather is coming straight at them. I thought that it would be easier hiking in the Fall, because the heat is quite draining to hike in, but I've found that mud also pretty much sucks. You really learn to appreciate the good weather, all five minutes of it.
