    A beautiful day! Similar scenery to the last few days, with the addition of eucalyptus forests, which smell so good! More sunshine than I’ve been used to, so that made it a little more difficult. Not included here was the 1.5 miles round trip walk to the little grocery store and then the restaurant down the road for dinner. A long day! Tomorrow will be longer but we should end in Santiago!Read more
