We enjoy the day walking around Putre. A day trekking in the middle of the cactus and the low-vegetationed mounts. Some vegetables and fruits we bought at the local grocery take part of our lunch.

I make use of this entry to say a few words about my duo with Benoit we are. I believe we are in harmony since the beginning of the trip and it's a great pleasure to share it with him. I was looking forward to starting this journey and now, here we are, in Chile. We double up a lot, we burst into laughter, the genuine laugh, the one which hurts the ribs. But, out of the context, these jokes or wordgames are meaningless. Travelling good-homoured helps us to live "locked" in a bus for hours and hours or to endure the cold. When we can associate other people to these gales of laughter, we never hesitate ! People we'll probably never meet again but who we are really happy to share a small part of our live with. Those short times get our trip different from another one. These anecdotes we like to tell when we are back and which we'll think of with a dash of nostalgia.
