Miracle on the Rio Erro

Wednesday afternoon after we had soaked our feet at the River Erro crossing (previous post) i was taking off my hat and somehow knocked my glasses into the swift running stream. I was sure they were gone but decided I had to try to find them as i knew they would sink to the bottom after being carried over the slippery spillway at the crossing. So I took off my boots and waided into the icy, fast running water on slippery rocks, holding onto a hiking pole with one hand while feeling the crevices of the invisible bottom with the other. It took several minutes but I found them! Truly a miracle as the pix do not do justice to the depth or speed of the water or the area they could have been carried to.
