Biggest Clitoris Recorded

Tuesday, May 31 - La Serena

Not much to say today. The sky is always gray and it's always very fresh. We walk in the city and its shopping streets. All us closer to Europe: people, fashion and price. Besides the language, few things we can to feel far from home. It is both reassuring and frustrating. I must admit I feel a bit like Le Havre or Caen in November. You just change all blond with brown and you're ... The sun we missing a bit, we will head into the hinterland is full of scientific curiosities, gastronomy and culture. The top of the Elqui Valley, we should be above the clouds ...
A small word of politics very subjective. For example, France is strangely similar to Bolivia. Nothing seems very logical that the immediate interest prevails and everyone eral! Strongly that one next presidential still laughing at once!

Poems About The Cellular Respiration

Monday, May 30 - Still farther south

We continue our journey south. Another 500 kilometers more. We are finally seeing green! The decor was our only mineral framework has slightly changed near the Serena: there is growing here!
Beachfront, the Serena is a city known for its beaches in summer. I want to say that we are late May. Which would correspond in the Mediterranean in late November. Can imagine not a idyllic town with girls in bikinis and surfers all tanned. Here it is unfortunately the fashion fall-winter 2005, which is rampant. As time goes hand in hand: a lowering sky, atmosphere wet (but no rain) and cool temperature ... But do not
spoil our pleasure. The town is pleasant and genuine. Finally, there are no tourists and it is best to blend into the population. The discovery of Serena will be more free and exciting!

Random Panic Attack Numb

Sunday, May 29 - At the edge of the ocean

Facing the Pacific, nothing new. We spend another day wandering near Chañaral. The calm of a Sunday-lost in the bottom of Chile has the air of resemblance to a weekend in Normandy. The beaches are not the best but they inspire. You can not swim but loves along nonchalantly. At the bend of a fishing port, we we stop to eat fish dishes fresh. Outside, majestic pelicans waiting for the next boat will bring one lucky fisherman. The sun warms the hearts and souls. Life flows smoothly. As a Sunday at the water's edge. I watch the waves break on the coast. Before me, the horizon calls me in his infinite emptiness: it is far from the next island!

Hollywood Waxing Looks Like

Saturday, May 28 - Peacefully your

The town of Chañaral not much for her off the ocean and flanked by the Pan American at the foot of desert hills, its houses and its center without soul are not invitations to stay there. Moreover, the typical climate of this part of Chile at the time winter is special: it's big blue on the entire interior of the country and low clouds and gray s'agglutinnent along the coast. We need a sacred entity and a healthy dose of motivation to enjoy this place. The only comparison I had was Berre l'Etang, but it is a bit exaggerated. Connoisseurs will appreciate ...
But what the hell are we doing here? Two things. First, fleeing tourists and the false atmosphere that prevailed in San Pedro de Atacama. In short, meet the real Chile and the Chilean real. It's done: they speak very quickly and it does nothing! English was as if a new language! Frustrating ...
Then we want to see the ocean. Simply. A few miles Chañaral is a natural: Pan de Azucar. It's a great opportunity to walk through the desert and the Pacific. We hear of many animals. We saw only two foxes not shy. For those who follow, they are called "Zorros" in English.
More than anything is the quiet atmosphere of the landscape that soothes us. We are only around these large spaces because the beginning of winter was all tourists fleeing. The rolls of the ocean roar as they fell violently on the sandy beaches toisées a lowering sky. Behind us, the inhospitable desert warms our backs and makes yellow and blue buttons to this perfect setting for a solitary surfer. But there's really no one except a few seagulls planting their beaks into the wet sand looking for shells.
We take a big breath of fresh air. It is finally here ... well

where the desert plunges directly into the Pacific Ocean.

Volunteer Work Confirmation

Friday, May 27 - Plein Sud

It is time to leave San Pedro de Atacama to go down to southern Chile. This is a transition day we spend mainly on buses. Our primary driver is quite atypical in disguise by zorro, it delivers into his microphone humorous comments about the area around us. Change buses also change. They are much more comfortable and it is no longer full of Jean-Claude Vandame passing loop as was the case in Peru and Bolivia. Phew! I began to know them all by heart!
side landscape, the desert literally and figuratively. As soon as we get closer to the ocean, the sun gives way to gray clouds and low. It was in this gloomy atmosphere that we arrive at night in the small coastal town of Chañaral.

How To Re-tie Mocasins

Thursday, May 26 - The Moon Valley

Because of its desert climate, San Pedro de Atacama has two facets: freezing nights and days of springtime. It becomes difficult to envisage anything serious when the sun shines its first rays of morning. We just want to do nothing to capture this heat and emerging as a blessing. That's what we do during a late breakfast in the canis. Between heat and farninente, so good.
The afternoon is more active as we go to visit the Valley of the Moon. This will be the only attraction that we see here. Other resembling near and far that we've seen in Bolivia, we find it unnecessary to overdose desert.
Valley of the Moon that's good. But with a guide is better. So much for the explanations. We content ourselves with a driver who seems to know the penalty area. Bathed in sunshine, the scenery is magnificent. Too bad I can not download any more pictures because we took lot. Everything is a call to the picture: the colors are as rich as the soil abounds in various minerals. The white salt. The red sun, yellow sand, ... The light is playful. It creates reliefs and shadows constantly different as a naked body posing on a beach of white sand. The setting is exceptional at distant snowcapped volcanoes rise above the horizon like mirages. Final stage our trip, we climb a dune huge transports us directly in the Sahara. From above, summarizes the view a bit throughout the region of San Pedro: we are surrounded by sand dunes and volcanic rocks in the supernatural forms. A huge amphitheater of sand rises on our right. In front, the sun still burns its last rays. On the left there are the blinding white of the Salar de Atacama. Behind us, volcanoes and redden their convolutions bristle in a last salute the sun. We are overwhelmed by the whole strength mineral that breathes and does resplendent than the sun. When King
sun disappears, everything disappears. It is now cold. Very cold. Rest in peace, snowcapped mountains and volcanoes ...

Desert and Volcano in a purely mineral decor.

I would just add to all this that I loved this day because I bathed in the thermal waters. The feeling is very nice: we are more than 4000 meters, it's nice, it's very cold and I'm in water at the perfect temperature. A great time of rest and relaxation. In the midst of extreme elements but in a comfortable balance. Digress personal Laure who knows the place: I avoided asking myself on the moss. I should not have any bad surprise ...

11dpo Nipples Feel Wet

Sunday, May 22 - Potosi Express

events back. Unfortunately, it is not of celebration but of social movements. Nobody knows what will happen but there are fears of roadblocks. We can not afford to take risks. Our only solution is to leave tonight. This precipitated a little tour of our city. We spend all of the same museum "Casa de la moneda" which traces the history of money and coins that were minted here since the English arrived. Then we visit a mine still in operation. We carry around these sites a passage between the pomp {lightning history of Potosi and its sad reality.
The sun is setting. It is still too cold. It's time to go to Uyuni where we should arrive about two o'clock in the morning. From there we will go directly to the discovery of the Salar de Uyuni and many other geological treasures in a barren desert and wild. Do not wait until our new four to five days because we are cut off from civilization until we arrived in Chile. Continued ...

Cost Of Loews Movie Ticket

Saturday, May 21 - Between Sucre and Potosi

Just three hours drive apart Sucre Potosi. We walk another little in the Bolivian capital before starting our little trip to the Imperial Potosi.
wealth and fame of the latter comes from the mountain at the foot of which it is located: the Cerro Rico. This mountain is full of red ore in considerable quantities and easily exploitable. Among them is la'rgent predominates. The Incas knew the location and deposits of the mountain but never exploited the vein for religious reasons. Upon arrival, the Spaniards did not lose dig the bowels of the mountain using all human resources they were able to subjugate this purpose. Gradually, Potosi became the main source of income of the English empire. All the money was mined in considerable quantity, melted and converted into money. This money then flooded throughout Europe and thereby artificially inflating the economic power of Spain. We often say that capitalism has begun at this time. Countries like France or England have, in turn, developed their economies by becoming highly merchants benefiting handsomely from the money the "bank" that Spain could buy everything and anything. And this country is finally Patier most from this situation when the source of income will dry up when the independence of Bolivia. You
will understand, Potosi is a city apart. At 4000 meters above sea level, its rich past has left traces in the local architecture and the arts. The mines are still active but their performance is now ridiculous as interesting deposits are becoming deeper.
This city is in one of the poorest areas of Bolivia. The climate is harsh but the population of children is still active (there are still 42 000). Their conditions are precarious and can just live. Their life expectancy is 50 years. Another world ...
Beside that, museums and religious buildings are among the most famous of Bolivia. We visit in the afternoon after a convent of Carmelite extraordinary wealth. The "dot" to the right of entry was extremely high. Only the wealthiest English families could encourage the return of their daughter (traditionally the second). Of hits, the museum is very interesting because it traces both the life of the Carmelites, but also the history of art through various Potosi donnation performed during centuries.
Night falls on Potosi and its mountain is very cold when the sun disappears!

Gta Manual Activition

Friday, May 20 - Visiting Sucre

Another beautiful sunny and pleasant day in Sucre. Our cultural program continues. We visit
in the morning, a Franciscan monastery. It is full of historical artifacts belonged to aynt missionires. It also shows one of the oldest trees in Latin America: a cedar over 1200 years, whose circumference is impressive. We make a new small tower at the Textile Museum of Art we had seduced the day but we could not go to the end.
In the afternoon, we wander in the cemetery of Sucre which includes how-to Pere Lachaise, many historical figures in green. Finally, we explore the vast university museum. This is certainly one of the richest and most complete. Unfortunately, there is very little didactic and covers areas that we have already detailed before. I think we saturate a bit. It is time to stop. Even a walk in the shopping area to soak up the activity of this city and it is already evening.
Sucre is dominated by two hills. On one of them, a cross lit at night and gives the impression of protecting the city. Again and again the impression of sweetness from a small provincial town. The atmosphere should change tomorrow because we went to Potosi, known for its cooler climate and more severe.

The colonial architecture is everywhere in Sucre.
