Fabulous pictures, El. The two of you look quite happy, and Atacama must be simply amazing!
Two questions:
(1) How did Rene your guide save yer ass?
(2) Are you sure it was Atacama and not the moon?
As to my first question above, SORRY! I had skipped over your previous post when I looked at your photos and saw the caption about the guide who saved yer ass. I thought I had read all the previous posts. Now looking again, I see you did say how earlier yer ass got saved.
Well, just to let you know, I am glad yer ass got saved cuz I love your blog and I love you!
