Sunday some more ....

Hello all

Missing you all! the drinking and eating buddies are gone, and its very quiet. Nothing to do ... so went looking for some supper - with great dread I might add, as it is only just after 6pm, and I thought it would need to be bread again. BUT - I decided to go into a funny little place near the hotel that I´d seen on my earlier travels, but avoided for some reason, and I´ve just had the most beautifully presented salad with asparagus, cheese and ham (6 euros). If I think that yesterday with Linda I had a ´salad´ (5 euros) in Santiago that literally consisted of some lettuce and 4 slices of tomato (ensalada simple or something) this place deserves 5 stars for presentation and quality. But sad.ly this place has no ´road appeal´and has some funny dudes drinking beer.... anyway. AND - they have an internet machine, after I walked 4 kms in town at mid day looking for a place. Will try their coffee next.

I´m going to keep a record of my costs on this leg to help others planning to do this portion ..and will putit all out at the end of my travels. As I was unsure of what to expect, travelling on my own etc, I have booked accommodation for just about every night, so will know those costs too.

After this I´m going to bed. Didn´thave much sleep last night, and we had two late nights before that, so need my beauty sleep. Also its a long day (35km) tomorrow, so need all my stremgth.

Over and out
Kathy
