Donkeys and others

Yes yesterday was a very cultural day. After being lured into the fish restaurant by one of Richards peons and being served by a small batalion of waiters we made our way to the markets. On our way we encountered a gentleman leading a pack of donkeys across the road (in the city) screaming and grinning fanatically at passing traffic, quite a fantastic thing to witness.
So we did this hike...
8 km each way, 16 all up. From the base of one mountain to the base of a second, considerably larger mountain and its glacier. The return walk ruined me a fair bit, and this morning i peeled a healthy (or.... unhealthy?) layer of skin off of the top of my ear but it was a good walk.
Regarding snoring: I'm confident that since ive been sleeping in a room of my own my snoring has ceased and that i am infact a sadist-in-sleep who chooses only to snore when it's going to substantially iritate both robert and steven. ha.


Here are some photos






























P.S steven has orange hands

The street art is gorgeous! And the parking formation in the Valparaiso street is something to be admired! So has Steven been fake tanning again?!
