Happy Easter!
Spending Good Friday today in the Atacama Desert, Chile they say the driest desert in the world--my contact lenses tend to agree. We wanted to post our pictures today, but who knew that a little town of population 2K in the middle of nowhere wouldnt have computers that accept external devices. We are just 40KM from the Bolivian border and on Easter Sunday, we are leaving on in 4x4 car to spend 3 days exploring the salt flats of Bolivia. Bolivia is supposed to be amazing and like nothing else in the world. Next wednesday we should make it to La Paz, the capital which sits at 14K feet above sea level. Hopefully more blogging from there.
The last week we have spent in Salta a northern province in Argentina. Spent lots of time eating Tamales and Humitas. We also rented a car for a day and explored little village north of the bigger city. We were sad to leave Argentina, after great food, amazing people and places (and a fantastic exchange rate!) More on this stuff, with some more interesting pictures a bit later when we get a chance to blog in La Paz
Happy Easter everyone. Wish we could be spending it with you all.

Happy Easter to you, too. I have mixed feelings about the fact that you are not here. I miss you but I am ecstatic that you are on your adventure. So, enjoy and bring back information about how our neighbors to the south celebrate the Resurrection. It cannot be, for them, a celebration of spring as it occurs in the fall south of the equator!

Your photos of Chile make me homesick. We lived in Providencia in Santiago. We used to walk around the area every day. We had an apartment on the 12th floor with a great view of the Andes. Chile is a country we have travel top to bottom. Great scenery. Nellie
Well a little late but Happy Easter to both of you. I hope driving in South America is not the same adventurous experience as in CR. Did you make it to a procession? We ended up going to Grecia and participated not just in one no but in two procession with a good amount of the town taking part in it. It was quite interesting to see the difference.
Well this is long enough. Great to hear that you are doing well and keep those pics coming.

Sounds like you guys are having a great time. Its making the anticipation of our own trip down to Machu even more unbearable! hope you're doing well - Eric&Shirley
humitas, aye? I have eaten tamales but never humitas. Are they like tamales with onion mixed in? Sounds yummy
