Hello Mexico and South America!
Read this Post: Hello Mexico and South America!I had never been hiking and this past month I had this experience. It was a lot more difficult than I had ever imagined.

We also have some silly and crazy weather…hot for four days and then cold and rainy for two days. Yesterday’s race was the worst race day ever.
