Goodbye South America .... for now
What an amazing adventure we have enjoyed over the past two months. Unfortunately, all great things must come to an end. We have memories, pictures and videos to last us a lifetime. We also met some awesome people along our journey. (Thanks for the good times: Jens, Hannah, David, Jackie, Aria, Mark, Johnny, Charlie, Andy, Meghan, Jen, Kelly, Gabe, Kira, Fabio, Stav, Nick, Casper, Erika, Tanya, and Stephanie!) From the jungle in Ecuador, to Machu Picchu in Peru, to the Salt Flats in Bolivia, the dessert in Chile, and to the vineyards in Argentina, it was one beautiful experience after another.
We will miss you SA, but we will be back!
