New Wheels


Over the weekend, we made an addition to the Biedel-Nelson family....a beautiful Griz burgandy Volkswagon Vanagon Camper. Yahoo! We've randomly been talking about getting one for the last few years (though we never actually thought we would) and when a friend mentioned they were selling theirs, we jumped at the chance. And yes, it sleeps 4 people, has a fridge, stove and even running water. Camping trips will never be the same. Our first test run will be this weekend at Mount Saint Helens with some Seattle friends. They'll be so jealous when we snuggle in for the night!


And for those future visitors to our home in Oregon City, you can now choose between our guest bedroom downstairs or your very own camper out front. Unfortunately, only one of those choices includes restroom facilities.

Ain't she pretty?!?!

Fabulous!
I think I'd like to stay in the Camper when I come in a month! That sounds divine!
Can't wait to see you both!

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.
