The Final Supper (Mulas Locas)

 

The Mulas Locas gathered at Mumbai Masala in Mendoza. It was one of the few ethnic restaurants in town and it had vegan and vegetarian food. A few Mulas had already changed flights and left, but the group still took up the main dining room.

Juan, Pedro and I had wedding speeches to the group.

There was a speech of fulfilling the groups commitment to being safe, to being able to sit as an expedition and still tolerate each-other after weeks.

There was speech about the inimitable nature of a chance meeting such as this expedition. The paths that would lead 15 people for 3 weeks of their lives to one place to one mountain was astronomical.
