Last week from Tuesday to Friday, I went to San Pedro de Atacama with my GW program. San Pedro is in the Atacama Desert in the north of Chile. Our two hour flight would have been about a 20 hour bus drive, so I am VERY glad we flew :). I think pictures speak louder than words so I am going to post many pictures.

The first afternoon we hiked all around and climbed a hill to watch the sun set.

The last day we went sandboarding! I don't have any action pics yet, but here are some :)
The little town we stayed in was really cute! It was small and very touristy, but really cool.
The Atacama Desert is the driest hot desert in the world, and let me
tell you that it gets extremely cold at night, especially because it is
winter in the southern hemisphere right now! We were very surprised that
the last day it actually started raining! It was only a few drops, but
because of that I took a picture of the rain on the ground :P
