Salar de Uyuni - dia 2

Ha, the first thing we couldn´t help but notice when we rolled up here...is that some dickhead was pissing on this famous "tree-rock", we were all pretty incredulous at that one! lol Anyways, this was created by the wind and sand that blows throughout the desert...it´s a rock that has been formed into a "tree" hence my earlier name! haha
Flavio continues to be the speed racer of our 70s dream wagon...he continually looks over his shoulder and his review mirror to scope where everyone is. If he sees someone closing in, it´s peddle to the metal! This could be the reason we got TWO FLAT TIRES today! Yes, I did say two, in the middle of nowhere I might add. All of a sudden the truck stops, Flavio gets out of the car and a smile spreads across his lips...but not the kind of happy smile you might want, but the "oh shit" kind. We all pile out of the dream wagon and the tire is flat as a pancake, really it´s amazing we didn´t have bigger problems! In about 3 seconds Falvio is in his speed racer outfit, that is, a one piece mechanic/race car driver jumper... and then he´s under the hood cranking up the car and removing the flat. This happened twice today... I will give it to Falvio though, he can change a flat tire in about 8 minutes flat! It was quite amazing to witness...TWICE! lol :D
