First Trip
Our plan is to study for two weeks at a time, then take a break to travel. Our first trip was to the Salar de Uyuni. We rode in a rather nice bus to the town of Potosi, only 3 hours from Sucre on a paved highway. This gave us time to see the city. Our hotel room had the most comfortable furniture we've found yet in Bolivia. But since the president was visiting, all night long we had to listen to marching bands going past our window in his honor. Next morning we rode for 7 hours on a dirt road in a rather uncomfortable bus to Uyuni. The bus kept picking up passengers even though it was standing room only. These folks had to stand for hours, though I suppose it was still better than walking. From Uyuni we took a three day 4-wheel drive tour through the Salar de Uyuni and its surrounding wilderness. Quite a wild trip!

Thanks for the tip, Angela. Never have used Blogs before. Anyhow, the pics are really great and you guys look really swell. Love that beard, Ray. Held Gus up to look at your picture, but I don't think he was with the program. He just wanted to lick the screen. Looking forward to future entries. Love, Mom/Ernie
Hey folks! Dad it appears you have succombed to a shaving... say it's not so. Peter and Lydia, you cats look as cool as ever. Soak it all in, this kind of thing comes just about once in a life time. Eat a taco for me. Mom, you're not really in any of the pictures. You should make Peter take some pictures of you (his wings tend to crowd everyone else out of the pictures anyway). Other than that, I'd like a Bolivian for Christmas please. Lots of love. Peace, hope and love- Nathan J. Emmans
