light packs lightly packed


our packs were carry-on size (no checked-in baggage)
and weighed about 16 lbs when packed
before filling our water dromedaries
or adding food we sometimes carried for lunch

our goal was to be under 20 lbs fully loaded
but we could have taken less
we found plenty of
albergues to sleep in
places to eat and
the water is safe to drink

we only needed
2 shorts (one to wear, one spare)
2 t-shirts (one to wear . . . )
3 pairs of socks (one to wear . . . )
1 hat
1 pair sunglasses
1 bandana (to wear)
1 camera
1 sleeping sheet (optional)
1 camping towel (optional)
1 light fleece for cool evenings

or maybe less than that because
we had to carry our packs
more than 1 million steps

sorry . . . no room to rescue rabbits
