It was just too beautiful.

After the best night's sleep I have had on this trip, I woke up in time to enjoy some breakfast. True, my day was almost ruined when the only coffee available was instant, but Traveler Brendan stepped in and sternly lectured Pamper Brendan.

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.

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.

Enjoy Uyuni, and I'll see you soon!
