California Vacation

California Vacation - Part I

Just back from a great trip to California. We started with a few days in Los Angeles meeting Cora's new cousin, Eli, and visiting Aunt Amy and Uncle Matt. Eli is absolutely adorable and Cora loved kissing and holding him.

While we were there, we did an Easter Egg hunt (thanks to Aunt Amy), headed to the beach in Malibu, explored Pasadena where were staying, enjoyed a quick visit with Papa Steve and Grandma Tanna and spent a morning at Griffith Park and the Observatory. It was great to get a little sun after a rainy winter and spring in Portland. Our last vacation as a family of three because baby #2 is due to arrive in less than six weeks....

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.
