To the Hacienda de Andes
After we left Pisco elqui we drove back through the valley. We stopped at Montegrande to visit the church and statue of Gabriele Mistral. After than we visited the town of Vicuna. it was a lovely small town very vibrant. The towns here are in direct contrast with the same area of Argentina. There things are poor and the infrastructure is falling apart. It is sad to see what once was and now i

CordobaWe visited the great mosque in Spanish called Mezquita. it was built in 712AD yes 712AD. Itrsquos the biggest mosque in the world since and still is. The brochure says it has 1000 colossal pillars and I would have believed if it says 10000.Unfortunately the Christians Catholics have destroyed the original artworks to transform it into a Cathedral. Irsquom not sure they succeed

del centro urbano de la ciudad
I woke up this morning and told myself it would be a good day. I dont have any breakfast food at the house so I got ready and decided to verture out. It was around 11 when I left the house and I went and bought a cremolade. It was so good. I caught a cab and went to the city center. I was a little nervous because this area is somewhat dangerous. Well I wouldnt say dangerous like I could b

But before I tell you about the valley and the places in it let me tell you about our trip over the high pass from Argentina to Chile.

Boxing day raod tripping
On boxing day we set out pretty early to head to Louisiana and Jeffrsquos family. It was the perfect sort of a journey for me because we got to see another big chunk of Arkansas a little bit of Mississippi and then drive through Louisiana as well. On the way out of Little Rock I was trying to take photos of the Capitol as I hadnrsquot seen it yet and so Daters pulled off the road and did a det

Namaste baby
Well your furious uprising against sleep has come to a quiet end with a soft coo rather than a final scream. I think it was probably because of Mommys hubris in telling everyone how you sleep for the whole night through and dont get up until 9 or 10 that you even chose to try to stage a coup anywayFor a couple of days now you werent going to sleep at night well and waking up early ok w

My final thoughts on Senegal
After almost 4 weeks in Senegal I knew it was time to move to Mali even though I left feeling that I could have stayed in the Casamance region another month. I found Casamance to be amazing and the people to be very genuine. However my first 10 days in Northern Senegal I felt some of the strongest culture shock I have experienced in all of my travels. Some days the smells foreign language b

What portugal is really like
Coimbra as I soon found out was originally the capital of Portugal in the 12th century the first dynasty. As I explore the area more I found that there was an incredible amount of history related to this town. For example it was a major trading area for the christians in the north and the muslims in the south. The city was the capital from roughly 1250 to 1255 A.D. As I learned about the history
