My informal guide through the salt flats. I had been standing around snapping photos when suddenly a large man in a ski mask loomed over me. His name was Andrés, and he felt it was VERY important for me to meet Apostos. Andrés apparently could pass me off because he claimed to already have two wives.

We walked around the flats far from the other workers, me keeping one eye on his swinging shovel most of the time. Sometimes he'd drift off, as in this photo, and say dreamily, "Naaancy...quiero conocerte mejor..."

I wasn't quite sure how to take that.
