We walked to the bus station with our bags (good warm up at 7 am) and then slept the whole 2 hours to the park. After getting dropped off at the Refugio in the hot mid-day sun, we couldn't find the sunscreen so Mark ran to the hotel and bought more (which we of course found later that evening and really didn't need at all the last 6 days).

| And we are off! |

| These owls are actually quite rare to see in the park and we saw one feasting on a mouse right next to the trail! |
Eventually, we walked the 4 or so hours (12 km) to Campamento Seron which was a slightly hilly but easy first day. This camp had hot showers and a really nice camp host. We socialized with a Chilean couple on their first ever camping trip. I was impressed that the 100 pound Pami was carrying a pack much bigger than mine however, I don't think she was happy with it on our longer day 2. We also met 6 Israeli's on their post-military travels. They were all very fit and hot (Mark agreed too) but definitely on vacation because they took hours to hike between each camp (more on them later). Great first day!
