Drowned rat was I in the morning. Tent came an inch from being a flood zone but the combination floor of paco pad and dry bags saved the day. Or at least saved the down sleeping bag. Rat enough that the expected layover day was exchanged for getting home early. So it was
on river and downstream. Scenery still excellent, but more open and
populated. Where do the Benedict monks get their money? The
Monastery of Christ in the Desert appears to be a non-trivial affair with
their own web page.
