The other night I saw the most beautiful star of my life. I was in front of the Laguna Colorada, a lagoon, obviously in a plateau at 4500 meters. This, a dry climate, combined with the fact that there are no city 'for hundreds of miles, he makes here is one of the best places to see the stars. They seem so 'neighbors who think they can grab, ¡so bright that seem to move like flames of candles hanging from invisible strings. The Milky Way and 'literally white, very bright.
Vabbuo are arrived in Tupiza last Saturday, taking the train on the fly, a seller of coca leaves has changed me 100 Argentine pesos. Bolivia and 'really different world, smells, people houses. Monday 'morning I left for a tour of 5 days in Tupiza Salar de Uyuni, the crew 4X4: Linda Cocinera (super), the driver Jose, Pete & Guy from Brighton (UK) and William (Dublin). A good crew, are the only one who speaks English (except for the natives), and so 'continuing my English course. What about 5 days between the highlands between 4000 and 5000 meters, which seem to Mongolia, Montegna a beauty that I can not describe, geysers, lagoons with pink flamingos, volcanoes, Reserva de Fauna Andina Avaroa and proud, incredible Salar de Uyuni. Out of the 'civilization', no telephone, no internet, nothing ... and showers, sleep in remote villages in the middle of nowhere. It 'been a real adventure. The second day the car had a fault in the elettrioco and will not start ', we had to push for 2 km until a truckload of workers did not have dragged S Antonio de Lipes a village of five hundred and one hundred and eighty souls blade. We had to wait until the next morning, 'cause another car arrived. This gave us a chance 'to live the life of an Andean village for a day. I took two steps and found the school, oh, a room for 4 to 7 meters, there 's just the teacher, I work here and explains that' hard ... 16 students, all of different ages 'and many children in the (beautiful) mountains around here who do not go to school because' should look after the cattle. Then I took the opportunity to make mends with the women of the country, with the classic Vestino chola (ie 'the bowler braids black skirt and shawl with child incorporato9 take me to the seat, even if they speak Quechua seems obvious. And then there are children, they laugh and then run away, I look like a Martian. Guy says that this place '"Nothing" but for me it' s a lot. Let us return to the tour ... I really do not find the words I had often the feeling of not having seen anything more 'beautiful in my life. Certainly the Argentine and' a wonderful place for those who love nature and shows that proposes But Bolivia, as seen so far, and 'a true paradise. A hug
