The road passes through Penitentes ski resort (it's closed for the season, although we are offered an opportunity to take the chairlift up for a view for an additional 30 pesos per person. No one wants this option. We continue on. Next is lunch. We again join other tour busses and are seated in a big hall. We are ushered to join a table with another English-speaking couple. They are Irish honey-mooners. Rudy and Sue shared a plate of spaghetti and beers. We had a nice visit. After lunch we will go on a hike. This turns out to be a very short hike, just around the back of the restaurant!
