Uyuni
We visited the largest salt flat IN THE WORLD. Dang, it was big.
Salty. This building is supposed to be made out of salt. Being skeptical, I tried it and found out that some of it was dirt.
Flat.
Uyuni has a train cemetery.
Thank you thank you thank you, Chris, for the best food in Bolivia. Chris is originally from Amherst, Massachusetts and now makes his home in Uyuni. He runs the only restaurant we came across in Bolivia with real coffee, chocolate chip cookies, bagels and delicious pizza. Get your pizza at Minuteman!
We are heading south tomorrow to Tupiza (last home of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) if the threatened strike does not come off. There are rumors that the road will be blocked and we have no interest in riling up anyone so we will stay put if the protests materialize.

Those pictures are amazing! Wow, what a place.
Somewhere in Greece there is a little church that was supposedly built using milk instead of water to mix the mortar, so we have a very similar photo of me sniffing the chapel. (But I didn’t put my tongue on it!)
