Just watched James Bond with the kids. Brings back memories of first watching Daniel Craig completely in Chinese. Felt really amazing to be immersed in that culture two years ago. Strange to be here in the US watching it in English 
Maybe too much so, but it mainly be long for some of the destinations that they found themselves. In many ways, I love Bourne, Mission Impossible and 007 movies because they are really like travelogues. Who wouldn’t want to go to Goya, Vietnam or Australia after watching these films.
So, is there really a desert like that in Bolivia? Well, according to the London Times there really is. They have a great guide to going to some of those amazing locations. Good to clip and see (oh BTW, these are spoilers, but I presume everyone and their mom has seen the movie):
- Bolivia. Well, it wasn’t Bolivia, but the Atacama Desert in Chile where there is an observatory. I’m not personally of a fan of lots of desert, but this looks pretty amazing. Aparently, there is a place called Explora Atacam which is a luxury resort outside of an oasis town. It has its own telescope, four pools, stables, mountain biking, etc. $4K for four days there plus 3 days in Santiago. See joyrneylatinamerica.co.uk
- Haiti. Well, it wasn’t Haiti, but Panama including Panama City (overrun with Americans retirees I’ve heard like Costa Rica’s west coast) and also the beaches of Colon. The San Blas archiepelago is apparently amazing set of 350 islands.
