Outstanding blog & pics!!
Dave here......really enjoyed your blog. I thought you were metaphorically describing the beds as "concrete" until I saw the picture! The pictures are priceless as well. You seem to be enjoying your sojourn as we knew you would. Be safe.

Is the cactus flipping you off?

Thanks for the warning about having my credit card at the airport...
you should dispute the charge with the credit card company, keeping both tickets, etc. I've usually been able to have a charge cancelled or refunded. As for sitting on your hat, I though you didn't have a hat...you hate them. But in that sun, you really need the protection...on your head.

Great photos....but....
I'm behind on reading your Bolivia blogs, but when I noticed this one had been published I had to have a quick skim of the photos. They're great, but did you forget to upload any others by chance...? ;-)

Thanks Jo
I'm glad you checked out the blog. I will publish the second and third days of the Salar trip soon. As for the photos, I try to keep them to only 2 pages. I don't want to bore people with too many pictures and have them lose interest and stop looking at them. It is one of my many quirks. Believe it or not, I took over 600 pictures out on the Salar.

Work for water
Hi B, loving the pictures so far. What a beautiful area to vacation in. If all the hiking was downhill I may be able to keep up. That uphill stuff is just not for me. Bet if they made the guests that used too much water bring up a couple of bucket fulls they wouldn't use near as much the next time. Have a great time and keep on blogging! Ted

Day trip with Tara all set
I am so happy that Tara and I were able to meet. Since I was already coming down it was a snap to bring some stuff for her. It's just what friends do. Thanks for following my trip.

What a view is right
Thank you Dave, Each direction I turned I found a new and even more beautiful view. Days like this do make me feel alive and fortunate to be able to seek out views like this.

Wow, I didn't but do now.
Great catch. I didn't even catch that. I do love clouds. My high school English teacher wrote me that she sat in front of the computer and visualized walking up those steps and into the clouds.

Good Recovery!
So glad you were able to throw off the altitude sickness, do that great hike with its amazing views and enjoy the quinoa soup. Since the trout is farmed in the polluted lake, probably best you didn't eat it anyway. Your guide, Sylvia, sounds like a gem--how nice to have her for so many days together. Enjoy Uyuni, and I'll see you soon!

Luck has been with me
Thanks Tara. I am so grateful that I was feeling better by the Sun Island hike. It was more than I had expected it to be. (of course I had no real idea what I was going to be doing.) All my tours have been nice, so I am hoping our trip Thursday will be as well. Looking forward to seeing you.

I want Lola and you give me Barry Manilow?
Glad you hooked up with TaraCloud and provided Christmas for her. The lake makes me think of the reed islands and MJ's burnt face (exquisitely painful). Keep the blogs coming..... Best, Dave

Lola wanted too much in royalties
I am glad I met up with Tara too. We are going to spend a couple days in La Paz soon. Luckily I didn't get a bad sunburn. Hope you two are having a great time in Ireland.

Well, through good timing and lots of luck, I am about to hit the skies again. It has been far too long since my last journey. As much as I love going to visit my family each year, the act of heading to the airport and climbing on a plane to the homeland lacks the edge, excitement and the element of the unknown that a trip abroad brings. As with the rest of the world, my life shifted and changed through the pandemic; however, it is time to set free Brenno, the traveler lurking just beneath my daily home persona. The next big adventure is a trip to the Galapagos Islands. This will once again i... full info
