here's matt, tracy, and clara crossing the rio elqui on our way into vicuņa. it's foggy but maybe you can see the cool mountain in the background there.
pretty much the same thing, dunno why i took two.
a random street in vicuņa. i thought it looked cool and quaint and south american. should've taken one of the plaza de armas though.
this is a neat picture of a pasture we passed walking up to cerro virgen. there were horses and dogs and kids and burros all running around freely in there, it looked like fun. plus there's the ever-present cool mountains in the background.
this was at the first semi-summit of cerro virgen, and like good little heathens we climbed on it and took pictures. it was kind of a shame, actually...there was a decent bit of grafitti on the base.
view from the top of the elqui valley. yay! mountains and town and vineyards!
yay for mountains.
i bet these mountain pictures get kind of boring after a while. but trust me, the view never does.
a slightly different view...i was trying to get the vineyard, the mountains, and the little orange flowers all in the picture. it worked, mostly, i think. in real life, those flowers look a lot more vividly orange though.
i'm going to subject you to more mountains. sorry. if you look close, you can see ctio there in the middle.
last one of just mountains, i promise, for this roll anyway. this one's at least a little bit greener.
i think this is a cool picture of matt. it's at the top of cerro virgen, with a little bit of the shrine in there (that's the chilean flag in the corner, yes, it does look like texas's, but i swear it's chile's). and there's of course vicuņa down there in the valley, and the mountains looming behind. looming? that makes them sound ominous...eh. for lack of a more colorful, less ominous verb i'll keep it.
here's matt on the way down from cerro virgen. in real life, the shadows looked really neat, but they don't show up so much in the picture. ah, well.
