Beautiful day, isn’t it ? |
Amigo |
Yes, especially after all that rain. But the trail looks pretty eroded now. |

No kidding. I read that our country scored the second worst on an international
environmental survey. |
Amigo |
I read that, too! Do you think
that’s really possible ? |
Quares |
I don’t know. We
did industrialize very quickly, and it took
its toll on the land. |
Amigo |
But there are lots of
beautiful mountains and lakes left. |
