Long time no words...sorry about that! We are in San Pedro de Atacama (northern Chile), a true oasis in the middle of the Atacama dessert, perfect for relaxation and recuperation of our energy. Time goes by slower here, or so it seems, the sun is shining, the sky is piercingly blue every day. We´ve probably seen everything we could around here - we biked to the Valley of the Moon, we took tours to Tatio Geysers, Puritama Hotsprings, salty lagunas in the Salar etc. So lots of bathing in warm or hot water (just like I love it) and some floating in the Laguna Cejas that is 70 percent salt so no need to go to the Dead Sea for us;-) San Pedro is a little village, very touristy but still feels nice and we were able to find restaurants that served locals first and last and we met some really sweet Chilean people here too. Well rested we´re heading to the Salar de Uyuni tomorrow, a three day trip in 4x4, ...SdU is the largest salt pan in the world and we should see some amazing things these upcoming days. Cannot wait! Not to forget - today we lived magic! We went sandboarding on the dunes in the Valley of Death and we were there all alone with the company of full moon only! Incredibly beautiful!
Next time from Bolivia! Be well and ciao;-)

Darling Bara, tried to send you a comment earlier but I see it's not here...guess it got lost in the ether. Your writings are well done and enticing...and dangerous in that we don't need more destinations. Still need Jo to translate the Czech for me. And look forward to more.
Great that you can easily avoid the touristy areas, must be the time of year and you probably have Lonely Planet or some other helpful guide.
Now I better understand your lack of interest in coming back to Colorado...your taste is more exotic. Hopefully you and Honza come anyway.
Enjoy your remaining days! LY. K-
