So, we made it through Salar de Uyuni and safely across the border to Chile. This afternoon we are getting on a bus (22 hours) from San Pedro de Atacama to Santiago. Provided we survive, Mendoza, Argentina, will be the next stop (Uyuni photos soon).
Important Purchase, #1
Math is hard, especially long division. So, I spent a whopping $1.60 in Oruro, Bolivia, and bought this beauty... and it works! It does all sorts of neat things like add and subtract and blink for no reason. I am *slightly* embarrassed to admit how often I use it, but I will say this much: it is a brilliant conversation piece. Go ahead, be jealous.
Important Purchase, #2
I was in need of some reading material for the trip (since I seem to have memorized the Frommers book already). In Cusco, we happened into a terrible bookstore and I found two terrible books to read. However, one of these books isn't as horrible as I thought it was going to be. It is insightful, articulate and fascinating. I am not going to tell you which one it is.

My bet is on Suburban Wife.
