Nu se gr\u0103bea, avea tot timpul. Traseul \u00eei era cunoscut, asemenea unui album; un r\u00e2set ici, un chicotit colo, precum paginile mult prea r\u0103sfoite ale unei colec\u021bii de fotografii.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00cencetini pasul, terenul devenind mai abrupt.

Cu o bufnitur\u0103 seac\u0103, rucsacul c\u0103zu pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt. Inspir\u0103 cu nesa\u021b aerul rece de munte, iar apoi se a\u0219ez\u0103 pe margine.
