10 April 2010 - Starter Photo - 18 Starters - 18 Finishers

[I've re-posted this so it shows up in my Blog on CFA - I didn't do that correctly the first time around, sorry!]

[thanks very much to Sybille for helping me figure out how to add pix!]

Anybody want to join me for this one??? I will have JUST finished writing all my scary-as-heck exams (that cost as much as this trip... yikes) and I'll be up for a big ol' challenge...

Organized by Andes Adventures, way more info on their website.
