Up in the Atacama Desert again :-)

I hope you have a chance to have a view of the pictures of todays run and the tenting which followed. It turned out to be some of the most amazing sceneries I have so far experiensed as we after the finish of my short 30km run headed back into the empty national park to set our tents with 10-30km clear view in front of us - and the highway and the world with all its noise and hasty pace far out of sight !

What a fantastic evening and night as the sun went down and the stars of the Milky Way spread their band across the desert sky :-) Tomorrow I hope to let the legs respond to this tread with a little more distance than the short days of running its been lately to save the legs a bit untill the shipment of runningshoes reach me, hopefully in Antafagasta about 400km further North.
