Last week, I went to the driest desert in the world. It was breathtaking, sometimes literally, being that we were at a high elevation and I found myself climbing sand dunes several times throughout the trip.
This trip was a perfect final experience with my gringo group, and it included bits of beauty (sunset at Valle de la Luna), relaxation (sitting with Allison eating thin crust pizza with cold beer), studying (apparently the days until finals still keep counting down when you're on vacation), and even pushing myself to extremes (after panicking on top of a large sand dune, I boarded down it).
The only downside: I messed up my Dad's camera while sandboarding, when I wiped out and sand got in the lens.
