Ephemerica

We got back from our Salar de Uyuni trip a couple of days ago (it was great—more on that later), and we’re hanging out in Uyuni for a few days while Cindy recovers from a small illness. So with nothing else to do but hang out, I decided to write up a review of our new bike computer, the VDO MC1.0. The short version: I like it.

I also wanted to talk about my search for the next Harry Potter book (#5, Order of the Phoenix). I finished #4 in La Paz, thinking I would have no trouble finding the next installment in the Bolivian capital. However, much like Quito, I went to several bookstores and couldn’t find it. Bookstores aren’t too plentiful in Bolivia, so I think I will have to wait until we cross over into Argentina to get the next book. I was very excited to find out (via harrylatino.com) though that the Spanish version of the last book, Harry Potter y Las Reliquias del Muerte, will be coming out on my birthday (Feb 21) in 2008! I think I know what I’ll be buying myself for my birthday next year…
