Tupiza, Bolivia

This was near the end of a day in Tupiza. We started early and mountain biked through the hills along mostly dirt roads and then came down a huge huge mountain. I didn't always trust that the brakes on the bike I was given were going to save me from going over the next cliff on the next 90 degree corner.... down down down to my death. It was a rush though! After that we got on horses and went through the red dessert with towers of rockall around and cacti. This canyon was explored on foot while the horses rested. The a long ride back. A great day!

Isla Del Pescado, Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

This photo was taken on Fish Island (cause it is fish-shaped there really are no fish). Fish Island is in the middle of a huge huge salt lake, which isn't really a lake. It is made up of salt crystals and it actually looks like a salt desert but I guess they think it looks like a lake. The ground is quiet hard and crusty.

I left this one in someone else's capable hands...
