Senior editor reaches Chile

I have temporary Internet access, so I thought I’d post a note. We didn’t have much access through Bolivia, as those of you reading my tweets and Facebook status updates might have noticed (sorry to bunch up all the updates like that). I think our access will be fine from now on.

Fabulous trip so far. This is the best group I’ve ever traveled with. We’re all loopy from the altitude, but nobody sicker than a headache. Tomorrow we head to several small villages in the Atacama Desert and then to Arica in northern Chile. One night there, then we fly to Santiago. One night there and we head to Easter Island.

If it’s clear, we’ll get lots of high-quality pictures from our group. They have some great equipment! We’re also seeing lots of wildlife: llamas, alpaca, rhea, vicuña, pink flamingos, and lots else.

Oh, and one of our fellow travelers looks like a young Brett Favre. Seriously!
