I am getting used to these super late nights and still with early mornings, another night of not much sleep but I am running on adrenaline now. First thing I went straight to mall with the plan to buy boots; I had about 4 choices and after trying and walking in I decided on one pair from Timbaland that had a 50% discount on them from $160 to $80 still not cheap but cheap for a really good pair. After lunch at the house I went to the mall again to meet lady about backpack; I had found online from sale. The pack was basically new and had just been used in one 5 day trek of Torres and the girl works at the park in one of the hotels. There was a small problem as there was no rain cover but the girl gave me a further discount so I could buy one.
Next i walked for about 5kms to test boots and on way back did all my food shopping for next 11 days: dried mushrooms, spices, salami sticks
Medical supplies and everything else in between. Fernando was making his famous Curanto in a pit tonight so i took the time to organize and pack my food. At 11:30pm we ate and wow amazing food - smoked pork ribs, chorizo, papas, chupalaylee, mussels, soup, pebree and white wine. I ate far too much, actually we all did as it is a very heavy meal.
