Trevor and I are happy to be done with the Bolivian portion of our trip. It´s been beautiful and the people are quite interesting, but the air is cold and the roads are sandy and we´re just plain excited to get home. Friends, of course, are a huge draw, but it´s also amazing just how enticing things like school and work can seem to us.
As for Bolivia, it really has been wonderful, and we are continually taken care of. The salars really are all salt, in case you might have thought otherwise, big flat sheets of salt generally packed as hard as concrete. The Bolivian roads are as sandy as our experience on the bus led us to believe, and I managed to fall to the ground probably six times the other day trying to stay on my bicycle through the sand (my pedals were also very stiff so it was difficult to click-out).
From here, we're headed into northern Chile for a weeks worth of bicycling through four national forests and will finish it off with a climb over a 15,000ft pass.
We´re excited.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We're almost done!
William and Trev
