Our Mule Ride...

It didn’t take long to leave the drabness of the parking lot and enter the beauty of the mountains. We really didn’t know what to expect, but we were surprised by all the colors.

There were four handlers that walked the 1.5 hour route with us. Our gear was all repacked into a smaller vehicle that drove up this same dirt road to the village where we’d be staying.

This young girl stayed beside Veronica the whole way. I thought they were talking because I could hear voices, but they actually couldn’t understand each other at all.

I must confess, I wasn’t crazy about this form of transportation as it was pretty uncomfortable. However, the views more than made up for the discomfort.
