This post may be a bit intense and upsetting for some people – it is a journal entry relating to the loss of a good friend recently.

Creative Evolution
Posted by Carly Lyddiard on Aug 23rd, 2009
I indulge in two types of creative activity aside from designing solutions to software problems 
: music – I play the mandolin and violin and sing a little; and I sketch. Both music and sketching are for my own amusement and I have no intention of that ever being otherwise (so before you tell me I’m crap, lol@you – I knew that already!). (continued)
All things go, all things go

I’ve fallen so far behind with posting about my trip, I feel like it is starting to interfere with what was my usual blogging routine before I went away. I start to want to blog about something and then think “ah, but I really am so far behind… the task seems enormous”. Well, to hell with linearity – in the words of my friend Scott, “linearity is for losers”. I’ll continue to blog about whatever I want, and will interweave my posts and memories and stories and rants from my trips. If you don’t like it, stay in the past with your “continuity” and your “order”. Or whatever.
So! Strap yourselves in for a mega-update-a-thon.

On Coming Home
Posted by Carly Lyddiard on May 12th, 2009
Before I left for South America, I remember wondering about the famed “travel bug” (the addiction to travel, not a stomach upset 
) and whether I would catch it. I wondered what it was about travelling that had so many addicted. Now I think there might be side to that story that may not be all that clear to those who haven’t done it…
La Paz, Bolivia – The First Time
Posted by Carly Lyddiard on Apr 8th, 2009
The trip from Uyuni to La Paz was not at all what my friends expected, and La Paz wasn’t what I had imagined either…well, I didn’t imagine old Bolivian women making fun of me (d’oh)
Tupiza and the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

The journey into Bolivia begins – into the salt flats surrounded by the English. Who’d have thought, eh?
Jay and I walked across the border from Argentina to Bolivia at the twin towns of La Quiaca (Argentina) and Villazón (Bolivia). You can’t catch buses across the border – you need to walk or go by car. The crossing is actually formed by a very small bridge over a dried river bed, the border posts at either end…

Posted by Carly Lyddiard on Oct 15th, 2008
Today is Blog Action Day around the world and this year’s topic is poverty. As I am currently in Bolivia I thought I’d post a little about the country, some statistics and a little about the current situation.

Salta, Argentina
Posted by Carly Lyddiard on Oct 11th, 2008
A 23 hour bus ride from Iguazu to Salta left me feeling a little drained, but it was still good to see a familiar face in Jay when I arrived. Through some fluke we both ended up there at the same time, and were planning to travel north in roughly the same direction at the same time too. high five
Salta was warm, fairly tranquil and generally a nice city….
