My Personal Pool

Salar de Tebinquinche

The salt plains. By the way, sweet outfit.

Los Geysers del Tatio

Ramon, Erica, Ana, me, and David standing at over 4,200 meters in below 0-Celcius at 5:30am. Me being the smart person I am came the least prepared and least dressed with jeans and a light sweatshirt. Nice.

More Llamas

Just posing.

Lunch!

Me enjoying some of the local llama. It was so good I got in line for more.

Valle de la Muerte

Or Death Valley. Crazy what earth movement can do to this crazy world. I think I know somebody that would find this geology stuff rather interesting. Actually, I think I only know one person that has any real clue about these phenomenons.

Valle de la Luna

Valle de la Luna

Me, Erica, and Ana right after the sunset.

Los Flamencos

Just eating some shrimp.

Laguna Miscanti

A 13 square kilometer lagoon sitting at over 4,100 meters because of some volcanic activity a little before we all joined this planet.

Goodnight Sun

See you tomorrow.
