Deciding not to endure the Seattle winter this year, I've gone to the southern hemisphere for six months. First a month of travel in Bolivia and north and central Chile, then on to southern Chile for my internship with the Chol Chol Foundation in Temuco. Fundacion Chol Chol is a fair trade organization that promotes the artisan work of Mapuche weavers.

salar de uyuni
Will the world ever run out of salt? It is hard to imagine when you see a place like this. The tiny towns on the edge of the salt flats of Uyuni provide salt to Bolivia. It sells for about 20 cents a kilo, but the iodine needed to process the salt costs like $100 per kilo. I don´t really get economics. We had fun taking pictures out there. So much so we didn´t notice we were getting completely sunburned.
