South America Highlights

We are about to leave South America and go to Africa (where the amazing, talented, always fun - and funny - Melissa Doyle will be joining us).  We're currently at the São Paolo airport where driving Annie around in a wheelchair has only added to the adventure.  Thankfully, she's feeling better each day.  While we had some time, we thought we’d do a recap of things we’ve learned while traveling these past couple of weeks in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

Graffiti and street art is everywhere.  You just have to make the most of it.

The seafood is amazing.  And, even though it might look scary, it’s delicious.

Alpacas are awesome.

Chileans love hot dogs.  We actually went to the food court in a mall in Santiago for dinner one night to enjoy the famous “Domino” brand.  (Oh yes we did…we’re on a budget!) And, by the way, YUM.

Chileans also love regular dogs, but unfortunately stray dogs are taking over.  It’s a really serious problem for the country.

Modern art can be hard to understand in ANY language.

 "Girl Power" requires no translation.

The Andes are breathtakingly beautiful by day…

…and by night.

It was way colder than we expected for most of our time in South America.

But, no complaints!  We know how lucky we are to be on this trip and we are incredibly grateful that we’re getting to do it together.  Now, onto Africa!
