TABT Day 7

The climate changed quickly today. After breakfast I left town. Sisters ist cute as could be. Looks like an old western film in real life. Within a short time those mountains and forest behind me; I was entering a desert. Suddenly the air was dry, the sun was warm, and things got really hilly. I was constantly up and down and around curves.

I met a couple from Portland as they were doing a day tour by bike. They were super friendly and full of good advice. We watched the alpacas together for a bit while we talked.

Then I met nother couple later in the day. They were fishing. I think they said they were from Washington state. They were surprised I wasn't from the area and we had a long but funny chat about life and what led us to that moment in time. I think they were old hippies.

Today was the most miles I've done; Despite all the hills I was also faster than expected by a full hour. Now I'm chowing down on dinner and will get ready to sleep. Despite all the sunblock, the sun still drains all your energy. I don't have a single ache or pain in the muscles either.

Distance for the day: 50mi (80km)
Total distance: 253 mi (407km)
