Trip to town

Today we took a car down to the AeroSur airline office to pay for our trip to the salt flats at Uyuni. We took a number and waited in line. The transaction went well except the tickets would not print. They finally had to hand write them. We are now ready for the flight. It leaves at 8:30 AM and returns at 4:30 PM.

We then walked to a restaurant to meet Tony and Patricia for lunch. Interestingly enough we had walked th same streets two years ago when we were here. They were meeting their friends Tom and Kati and another woman Cindy. We had a great lunch with salad, soup, entree and dessert.

After lunch we walked down the Prado (a nice boulevard) to a travel agent to pay for a tour in Uyuni. We will be at the town for several hours so we decided to take a tour. We won't see much of the salt flats. This is better than getting there and hoping we would find someone once we got there.

Next we walked to the archaeological museum. It was a nice museum with artifacts from ancient Bolivia; bones of mastodons, pots, tools, cloth, and mummies.


We walked back to the Times building (the local newspaper) and got on the number 3 bus to ride back up the hill.

Tonight we are going out with Nathaniel and Norma.

Tomorrow will start early because we need to be at the airport at 7:30 AM. It is about 30 minutes to get there.

Tomorrow my dream comes true of flying on a DC-3.
