As mathematicians we could not in good conscience use the same numbers over again from the first half of the trip. Moreover, we’re traveling in the opposite geographic direction, so we figured we should also travel in the opposite numerical direction.
The day began on a lovely trail right along the coast, but sections were unpaved making for a bumpy ride.
