LLamas through the mist
Bad news this morning. A landslide has blocked the tracks of the Nariz del Diablo autoferro. They do not expect to have it cleared until this weekend, so no autoferro ride for us. Gonzalo promises a stop in the little town of Alausi anyway for photo op since it is very quaint.
