My amazing travel partner left ... so i wandered the abandoned streets of Barichara, watching the sun rise and set with the goats for a couple days. It has been really good to be in the mountains, hiking, enjoying the silence, and the company of the random strangers i encounter along the way. Tomorrow i travel to a Santuario de Iguaque, further up in the mountains to spend a couple days in this national park hiking more. Just trying to take in all this nature to hopefully sustain me for a while in the city!
