Well it looks like I am at it again.
Only a handful of people know that I embarked on my latest adventure. So let me apologize to all who get the message a little late. I am currently sitting in the domestic departures waiting area of the airport in Santiago, Chile (though by the time I am able to post this I will be elsewhere). I am waiting for my connecting flight that will take me to San Pedro De Atacama, where I will be staying for the next week while I explore the wonders of the Atacama Desert.

I do not believe that I can give an honest assessment of what the city of Sucre is like. It would be like a tourist in New York spending 5 days in the city without ever leaving midtown, except to visit upstate for a day. This is essentially what my time was like in Sucre.

I think it may be my favorite of the big cities I have visited in South America so far. 
The final day of the the Uyuni jeep trek did not disappoint. This day was dedicated to the famous Salar de Uyuni. The Salar is the world’s largest salt flat and one of Bolvia’s main tourism attractions.
