Tue, 30 Oct 2007 | By klynne | Views [435]

La Paz : either you step off the plane and admire the magnificent view or you crumple to a heap and have to be scrapped off the tarmac. It turns out that La Paz is the highest capital in the world at an altitude of 3,600 meters (11,811 feet) and something ... Read more >

J-7 Do we still have it in us?

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 | By klynne | Views [382]

Like the Far Side cartoon with the two old ladies debating if they are going to pickup the one-handed, patched eyed hitchhiker holding a sign that says “anywhere,” when either JN or I start to waffle about going on this trip, we would challenge the other ... Read more >

Uyuni

Sat, 20 Oct 2007 | By vietnamviking | Views [821] | Comments [3]

I had no idea that desert landscapes could vary so much. Now I know. Last time I wrote, we were in Uyuni, a small town in southern Bolivia. From there, we set off on a 3-day tour of the desert in a bright red 4x4. Our driver and guide was Mario, who ... Read more >

I blame the Bolivian Tuna

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 | By netsy19 | Views [1172] | Comments [1]

Apparently, its time for me to loose some weight. As of yesterday, I have become involuntarily bulimic. This doesn’t surprise me. I’ve been expecting some sort of food poisoning for awhile now. I was ok with the alpaca, the piranha, the llama, the ... Read more >
