Up & out a bit earlier. Beautiful sunny day. Uneventful day. Went by fast. Walked through a few small towns, so quite a bit of pavement. Had some dirt paths through eucalyptus forest too.

One highlight was stopping at Igreja Matrix. They were getting ready to start mass. A lot of younger couples with kids about 6 y.o. were outside and they all filed in together and sat in the front pews. I guess it was a special mass for the kids. Stayed for about 40 minutes and then left. The church was full!Les mer
