Well, today we spent the day touring the area and got to see some amazing things. I am going to be short and without pics for now (I have added them now).
We toured Chiu Chiu today and it was very cool. Good representation of the desert towns of the area with nice shops for the American tourists. Many of us purchased hats, shirts, socks, seaters, scarves, etc for our families. All handmade and very wonderful.
We then toured a lake... that´s right, a lake in the desert. Very wild to see. It is speculated that a meteor struck and caused an underground river to surface, but no one is certain.
We then toured some ruins. Lasana is a small town with a fort made of stone. It is many stories high and really amazing.
Some of us went into the square in Calama and saw a tradition religious dance and did more shopping. Some of the volunteers took us around and were really great. Now it is off to dinner and then to bed.
More to come Sunday! Thanks for reading.
