This is the world's largest salt flat.
Alisa is really small.
She's still really small.
Gravity does not exist on salt flats . . . a little known fact.
We saw lots of crazy boulders.
And lots of llamas! 
This is the desert that inspired some of Salvador Dali's paintings. Our tour guide told us that he rode through here on a camel . . . this is the first news of camels in South America . . . the tour was amazing.
Our friend, Camilla. We are still trying to figure out the difference between lagoons and lakes. We asked many people and the only response we received was that lagoons were smaller. This just does not seem right. If anyone has ideas on this, let us know.

I am SOOOOOOOOOO jealous because of all of the BEAUTIFUL places you're getting to see...but hey, the pictures are cool :)
Alisa,
I was just talking about you a couple of days ago with Rex Hambly! He was in Boise and looked me up, I didn't take him to the fabulous restaurant I took you and Annie to, but we still had fun :) So I was thinking about you and found the link to your blog on facebook. I'm glad I did. I read through the whole thing from the beginning sitting in a coffee shop in Boise. The people next to me were looking over my shoulder at the pictures. I am so glad your travels seem to be bringing both of you so much happiness, it is truly inspiring. I am sending the link to my parents, they will love it. My dad still fondly remembers tying your soccer cleats regularly. I love you, and am so glad I got to see you at Christmas before you left, I will always remember fondly your chocolate graham crackers!
lake: simply, a large body of water surrounded by land
lagoon:
-stretch of saltwater separated from the sea by low sandbank of reef
-small freshwater lake near a larger lake
*so apparently a lagoon can be a lake, but can a lake be a lagoon?
love you two!
