San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Well we were spoiled on our 12 hr bus ride we bought the cama seats and were able to sleep the whole 12 hrs! The seats recline twice as much as an airplane, you have a foot rest and they give you a pillow and blanket! So tonight we have a 16 hr bus down to la serena and we booked the fancy seats again so cross our fingers we can sleep! The last couple days we have been in the desert the landscape here in San Pedro has been very unique. We did 2 tours the first one we went to the salt lake lagoons one of the ones we swam in has 60% more salt then in the ocean! You couldn't sink if you wanted to you were so buoyant you could float above the water! One of the flats had 3" of water above the salt it was very strange to walk on. The other tour was to the moon valley it is called that because it is the closest resemblance to the surface of the moon. We went to the 3 Maria's and through salt caves before watching the sun set which was very nice. We are here in San Pedro till 4:45pm when we will catch our next bus! Hope all is well! Chow for now:)
