In hopes of beating the rain, I got an early start.

It was paying off but it looked like it might start raining at any moment.

I started picking up the pace.

I tried to remember to take pictures and enjoy each moment.

A visit to Villamarco was tempting but at almost a kilometer off path, it wasn’t worth risking.

It rained steadily for hours after I arrived. Sadly, I stayed huddled indoors trying to stay warm and dry.
