The Meseta

The Meseta

Ah. For the first time I can see what awaits on the other side of the mountains. The flat plains of the meseta, burnt brown, reaching out to the horizon, apparently without end. Their immensity is troublingly impressive. Up in the mountains it's been difficult to get an idea of what 50 or 100 miles out across the land might actually look like. From here there are no doubts. It's vast.
