BOLIVIA | Friday, 1 Feb 2008 | Views [646]

We left La Paz on Sunday for Santa Cruz, I was actually happy to leave. This year La Paz wasn’t quite the same. The flooding really complicated things. We couldn’t go out as much at night because the roads were blocked and not having water was a drag.... Read more >

Salar de Uyuni--Amazing!

BOLIVIA | Wednesday, 23 Jan 2008 | Views [1589] | Comments [1]

ARGENTINA | Sunday, 30 Dec 2007 | Views [431]
