San Pedro de Atacama was supposed to be my gateway to the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, but mother earth has been acting out this year and most of the roads surrounding San Pedro were blocked by snow. On my first day there, I was told the roads might open on Friday. On the second day, I was told they might open on Saturday, but other people at my hostel heard Monday...Two weeks later it still isn't open! Good thing I didn't wait. It was (unusually) rainy for my first two days there and, because of this, there wasn't much to do, but on my last day the sun came out and I took a small trip to Valle de la Luna to watch the sunset. It was worth the big detour!
All buildings in San Pedro are made of adobe.

Since my plan to go to Bolivia from San Pedro didn't work (surprise, surprise!), I retraced my steps to Arica. While I wasn't very impressed with Arica the very first day I arrived there, the city really grew on me and I was glad to be back There's a lot of cool street art in Arica, so I spent a lot of my time just wandering the streets looking for some. The rest of my time was spent at the beach (not quite warm enough to swim though)!
