Unfortunately it seems i typed these two blog entries yesterday at a coffeeshop where the computer seems to have eaten them. To recap--I am now in a town in the middle of the Atacama desert in Chile called San Pedro. The border crossing was a bitch, but at least the road from the chilean border was paved. As opposed to the streets in the town, which are sandy and people walk around barefoot. Another great discovery was flush toilets with running water AAAAND toilet paper actually there. A less enthusiastic discovery was the fact that everything was bizillion times more expensive. Sandboarding fell through yesterday since apparently not enough people signed up and I have not checked whether today´s trip is a go or not. For now I am planning on renting bikes with a bunch of people, rediscovering how the pedals turn, and biking 'round for some cool scenery.
