broken yet blessed

3 days and 2 nights in the woods,
a leaking tent on a rainy night,
minimal rest,
and 26.5 miles in 18hrs+ hiking with a backpack of about the weight of a large wet dog.
¿Combine and what do you get?

A Broken yet Blessed dink of a man.

So...Torres del Paine- Beautiful park with jaw-dropping scenery and kick you in the pants hiking trails.
Pretty much me and my cousin decided to tackle a hiking circuit take usually take 3to5 days and we did it in 3 days- I don´t think we were thinking right when we decided to do so much in such a short amount of time but whatever.
To be completely honest- There were times that I have never felt so tired physically and mentally from all the hiking.
The only way that we both hiked so much was by relying on the Lord.
When I realized that our present sufferings here on earth are as nothing compared to the glory that is to come- I gained strength...HE kept me going.

my phat pack

my cracked lizard lips after the 3 days of hiking in the sun and with hurricane force winds...sooper

Well it is now Adios to Chile and Hello to Argentina- moving on up north now...hope no more hiking;)

GOD BLESS
