back from the dry

the atacama desert in northern chile is the second driest in the world... we actually pointed out to each other when we saw plants because they seemed so unusual in the stark landscape. pop quiz... what's the driest desert in the world??

i've returned from the northern desert to realize that i have only TWO weeks left in la serena, chile!! holy crap how time flies as little moments simultaneously linger in my mind! so much to say, so much to do, so much to see, so much to feel...

How are you defining dry? If it is least precipitation, then it is antarctica. If it is precip minus evap, then I think Chile is the driest.
