Chile: Atacama Desert

I recently just returned from a 3 week vacation in South America. My father decided that we go on a graduation trip. We visited two countries in South American-- Chile and Argentina. Though it was no necessarily the right time to visit these places (its winter in the southern hemisphere), it was still a really good and fun experience.


First stop, the Atacama desert in Chile. It is in the northern part of a very long country. Of the many place we went to on this trip, it is probably the warmest. It was not burning hot or freezing cold which made it perfect whether for hiking. Just like many deserts, it was covered with red sand. What makes this region interesting is the mountain range within the desert.

On the first day, we took a walk among the sand dunes. A relatively easy hike, we stepped down the sand dunes. I took of my shoes so my shoes wouldn't be covered in sand. But, my shoes were covered with sand when I got back anyways. ha.

Since I'm still working on my photographs, here is a snip bit of the first day.

More to come. Trying to get an update in a day. 

Goodbye, Summer.

Last weekend marked the end of summer and I guess it would be an appropriate type to update so 1. I have updated in a while and 2. it is perfect timing to starting blogging again.

Since I have got to college, summers has been part uneventful and part awesome. It was usually classes for part of it and part traveling for the other. But, this summer...things have been awesome. Though I found myself mostly in one place (well, a really awesome place), it was awesome along.

I guess pictures are worth a thousand words so I guess this is how I will choose to close out the summer.
