We spent this night in an apartamente called Luar 2. We’ve stayed in some nice places along the way so this was a bit disappointing. Mediocre apartment across the railroad tracks from a pig processing plant. The heavy fragrance they used in the place to mask the smell just gave you a perfumed pig processing aroma.
However, we had the best burger at Fran’s Hamburgueseria. A great little restaurant with a simple menu, various kinds of burgers. Fran knows his burgers and also knows many party tricks which kept us entertained. A delightful man enjoying his work.



My hamstring is healing and feeling much better but I am taking a rest day tomorrow. It’s starting to squawk a little and I’m paying attention so it doesn’t flare up. I intend to walk into Santiago.
