After going thru Refunda…

Then we’d want a couple of half-day hike…

She was asleep when I left to go to the bathroom and when I got back a man was in her seat. I asked him what had happened to the woman and he said “oh that’s my wife, we have two small kids so we take shifts sitting with them so we can each have a break and sleep if needed.
