124.Spain 2012

It was another GoAheadTours trip for me, this time with my cousin Janet. We visited several sites that I had seen previously --- Madrid, Seville, and Barcelona --- plus several sites that were new to me --- Cordoba, Gibraltar, Granada, and Tarragona. In addition, there was a one-day excursionto Morocco. It was a delightful itinerary, filled with sangria and tapas.

125.Northern Chile 2012

Why spend two weeks in the driest climate on Earth - Chile's desert north? Maybe to behold otherworldly scenery in some of the most remote locations on the continent; or perhaps to gaze up into the clearest night skies on the planet; or simply to revel in one perfectly warm, perpetually sunny Atacama day after another.

We began our tour of the north in the coastal town of La Serena, took a side trip into the beautiful Elqui Valley, flew up to San Pedro de Atacama and then bused back to the coast and the town of Arica. A few days were lost wandering up to Parque Lauca before we spent our final nights in Santiago, Chile's capital city.

A night at one of the observatories in the Elqui Valley is a requiement and the San Pedro reqion is a deserved tourist magnet. But desolate Parque Lauca is a treasure worth discovering - the ultimate destination or any exploration of Chile's hauntingly austere northern region.
