In Bolivia

Freakin' A. Its daaaaang cold! We're freezing to death and the internet is really slow. So this is going to be a very fast blog.

We made it though the border yesterday after a real pain in the ass. We brought $200 USD with us to buy the tourist visa in Bolivia and three of our 20 dollar bills weren't suffecient to get through the border. We had to take a taxi back to Argentina to get out pesos, try to find a change place, excange the money for american dollars, and then after about 2-3 hours of frustrating hassle from a very slightly knicked bill, we were in Bolivia. Then we had to sit in line at the Train station for 2 1/2 hours to wait to buy a ticket. We got on the train and made it to Uyuni. It's so cold here that the train windows were covered in ice when we arrived after 1am. Like Harry Potter and the dementors ice covered windows. It sucked. Its so damn cold!

We bought some winter stuff and are off to find a tour company for our trip to the salt flats. We wont be blogging or emailing for a few days as we wont have internet access. Hopefully when we get to a bigger city in a week we can keep better in touch (moms).

Think warm thoughts for us. Today I'm wearing two pairs of pants, two tanktops, a thermal longsleeve shirt, a tshirt, my idaho sweatshirt, my coat, and a scarf. Amber is wearing two pairs of pants, two undershirts, a long sleeved shirt, a tshirt, a vest, a jacket, another vest, and two scarves. Its about 40 degrees outside. At night its getting down to zero.
