Hot Showers

Appreciate hot showers. After every trek, the one thing I really look forward to is a hot shower. The one thing that could let me have peace of mind and feel somewhat more human is a hot shower. Having a baby wipe shower never will count or replace a real shower, but while you are out in such conditions, baby wipes are your best friend.

I went on a 3 day tour through the Uyuni Salt Flats and Desert in Bolivia. This Bolivian desert is freezing. The fact that the desert is at roughtly 3,500 - 4,800 meters altitude and with wind...well, it meant very cold days and nights. Yes, the desert is amazing. Pure, white salt for miles. Then, green, red, and blue lagoons with flamingoes. Who knew flamingoes were in Bolivia? I didn´t, but they are quite pretty. The fact that there is vegetation and mountains at that altitude is pretty insane. There were also huge cacti (about 10 feet tall) which were planted by the Inca. The cacti still grow 1 cm per year.

From Bolivia, I went to Chile for a night and am currently in Buenos Aires.

I will give you all the fun details about Bolivia and what else I have been doing in Argentina, but, for now, just appreciate your hot shower.
