This is a photo of me and beautiful Clare from South Africa, sitting atop a ridge in the Valley of the Moon, or Cordillera de la Sal, in the desert north of San Pedro de Atacama, in northern Chile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valle_de_la_Luna_(Chile). Needless to say, the wind was merciless this afternoon! It probably didn't help that we couldn't stop laughing. A truly unbelievable landscape, the valley looks like what you'd imagine the surface of the moon looks like - pocked with craters, peaks, valleys, and an array of sporadically impressive geologic formations (which I would definitely NOT recommend climbing on...Chileans are quite serious about protecting cultural landmarks...a cause which is apparently federally-enforced. Seriously - don't climb on unique-looking stuff.)Sunday, July 19, 2009
