Day 40 - Somewhere in Bolivia (Day 3)



Today began at Laguna Colorado. The minerals in the lake make the water a maroon red color. The laguna is also a popular gathering place for flamingos. Although I had seen flamingos before, probably in a zoo, I had never seen them fly. They are surprisingly graceful despite their long necks and legs.

We also visited the Arbol de Piedra (Tree of Rock) and other rock formations in the Desierto de Dali. It was surreal, as if Dali himself had painted the landscape and sculpted the rocks. It was just missing the melting clocks.
