Hotel "El Repozo" Dept Huexvetengo
July.
Anyway, we worked back to *3. I chipped
a few more, then decided to head down.
We were supposed to be down by 5 PM
to catch a ride we had arranged for down
the mtn. For leg I didn't want to miss it.
Naturally, my watch stopped, so when it said
4 PM, it was actually 6:30 when we walked
down to Paraiso. The truck had left, so
we ate there again - a good meal for $2.50/2,
then started to walk around 7:15. It's
not too long - about 2 1/2 hours, but very
steep as a total of over 5000 ft. down -
about 3000 from Paraiso. It's a lot of trunk.
In the dark it was a long walk - I
about 1/8 mile from the end Paul twisted his
ankle, which looked like it hurt a lot. He
hobbled in, I we charged the animals shrewd,
I felt a lot better - arrived at El Repozo
~9:30. We ran out of ice, so what we
did was put the animals in plastic bags,
put that in a cloth bag, soak it &
hang it up - the evaporation keeps everything cool
- a neat idea! We are trying to keep all of these
alive for Dave - here's hoping. Unfortunately Paul's ankle
is still hurt; he may not be able to work San
Marcos w me. Oh well - hopefully I will get both.
