And then there was the train. We were supposed to leave at 8:30 PM and arrive at 1:30 AM. Instead, we left at 9:30 PM and arrived at 4:30 AM. It was unbearably hot and crowded on the train. Except for a piece of bread, we went from lunch the prior day until breakfast the next morning without food. When we finally got to Lope, we located our suitcases and dragged them across the train tracks to the blessed sight of waiting vehicles. After all this, we got to bed around 5:30 AM.
