today ! Pity this was not a better image - but Zenit, no meter, straight into the sun ! so what, it sums up the day - all our gear in a back of a truck, half filled with goats, twenty eight miles from the nearest metalled road and 3600 miles from home, plus a ton of gear, little money and no transport.
