Dive School




Well...we are officially scuba dive certified after 4 days of studying our trusty PADI book and making 5 dives around the island. The last two days were the best with 2 dives each day for 30-50 minutes each. We saw sharks, barracuda, trigger fish, jelly fish, sea snakes and lots of other cool fish. Visibility wasn't fabulous but it was still incredible. Our isolated little resort made for the perfect place to relax after long days in the water. You would not believe the road getting to/from this place...we attempted to rent a scooter but quickly found that it was impossible with two people. So we walked. However, we were happy to avoid the broken arms, stitches, burns and other wounds that our fellow travelers got while riding around on scooters. It's dangerous business.


Today, we have to get back on a ferry (wish us luck) for the main land and then take an overnight train to Bangkok. I'm sure it will be another adventure in Thailand travel! Then off to Vietnam for a week before we head home.

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.
