PotosiUyuniCochabambaLaPaz

Wow, we´ve gotten slack on blog updates!
Here is a quick rundown of what has happened:
Potosi - We did a mine tour of mines which date back to the 1600´s where silver was extracted and sent to Spain. It is also the highest city in the world.
Uyuni - Went on a 3 day tour of the salt flats, lagoons, desert, geysers, and stange rock formations. Some highlights were staying in hostel made of salt, seeing flamingos, and playing old maid.
Cochabamba - We stayed with Koehler´s cousin Saadid who is in college studying medicine and said our final goodbye while in South America to Lorelle and Adrienne. We also ate at a chain called Dumbo´s multiple times where we enjoyed ice-cream, cakes, and salad.
La Paz - Highest capital in the world. We walked around the city center and stayed in a hostel that had it´s own microbrewery. We also saw dried llama fetus in the witches market...yum.
Well, hope all is well...we´ll try to better about the updates...we´ll try.
