Cacti along the Rio Santa

Bus on a dusty, rocky road.

When the pavement ended it looked like we were entering a construction site.  The road was so bad I hoped it was the wrong way; but dozens of buses soon passed us, crawling along at barely 25 kph. We averaged only 8 kph on our worst road so far. We had 50k of unpaved road yesterday, and thought nothing of another 55k today; but we still had 10k left to go at dark, and Julie got a lift for the last 5. The only hostal in town was full, but the proprietress let us have her bedroom.
