Bay Area and Big Sur

After a blistering pace through Sacramento and San Fran, we headed down the coast again. We saw some good friends in both spots and of course, wish we had more time. The fast pace is definitely tough to maintain, but there's so much to see! We did come across a few famous folks though. Most notably, Darth Vader. When he's not working on the Death Star, he really enjoys swimming lessons and corn dogs.

After the Bay Area, we headed south through Big Sur. Very remote California coast... who knew?! We stayed at a fun spot called Tree Bones Resort where the accomodations are yurts. Highly recommended. www.treebonesresort.com Now we're off to a few National Parks. Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia. We'll keep you posted!

Dave and Lindsay--
Montana misses you already. Looks like things are going well. Wish I was with you on the trip through the National Parks. Keep up the posts and the pace...it entertains those of us that are hanging out in front of a computer all day.

Safe travels,

Amy

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Salar de Uyuni Tour

Southeast Bolivia is home to the world´s largest salt flats. This amounts to huge expanses of flat land surrounded by snow capped mountains. Big lakes, super dry deserts, and llamas, alpacas and vicuñas everywhere. As you can see from the photos, there are a few interesting things going on here. First, and most notable, is the huge population of flamingos. There are three different species that summer in Bolivia and winter in Chile and Argentina. But what makes it even more interesting is that the salt flats are roughly 14-15,000 feet above sea level. We are way up here. That makes the hills and mountain surrounding the plains almost 20,000 feet. Mt. Everest is less than 30,000 feet. This is home to flamingos? Yep, lots of em.
