Yesterday was a day of rest. We were so soaked, especially that Peter tripped and fell while crossing the river. We had so much dirty laundry and I was so tired. The only effort expended was one small walk. We came back just in time to take the clothes in as it started pouring again. It's easier to take when shelter is nearby! I think Peter would have wanted to continue, but he recognized that after 16 days of walking and over 325 km without a pause, that it might be a good idea to give my knee a rest. The water pipe broke and the entire valley was without water until 6:00 pm.
We finally dried out. We were able to Sno-Seal our boots before leaving. We got off to a good start by the Ermita de la Pineta. The route up was steep but managable. when we got out of the trees, we got beautiful views. It is amazing to see the wall we came down the day before yesterday. From across the valley, you would not think it possible. For a while I thought it would rain, a few drops, enough to make us take out our rain gear, but it only lasted 5 min. The views up there are magnificent. The top meadow, Plana Funda is walled in by hoodoo-type crags. The way down was relatively easy, a good part of it on gravel roads. We reached Parzan in just under 7 hrs. Easily got a room and enjoyed a well-stocked supermercado. Incredible for such a small pueblo.
