The Cordillera Blanca across the Rio Santa

I felt a shortness of breath this morning as we climbed to our highest altitude yet: 4,000m.  I felt okay in the afternoon spent cycling on the high valley, but Julie felt weakness in her legs and a headache, possibly altitude sickness.  There is an hospedaje here, at the top of the pass, with spartan accomodations.  A bus driver from Lima, Raul, slept in another bed in our room.
