I’m home after travelling 16,293 miles over six weeks. I visited seven countries (Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina). We cruised for a month, then spent a week in a San Telmo apartment in Buenos Aires, where we met up with our oldest daughter, Melissa. Gratefully, she spoke fluent Spanish (and danced a mean tango). We crossed the equator for the first time, and rounded Cape Horn during hurricane force winds. I read five books, three of which I gave five stars (Orphan #8, The Invention of Wings, and All the Light We Cannot See – because I know you were wondering which ones received five stars). At various times, my husband was told he looked like Nick Nolte (hopefully not his mug shot photo!), Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd), Richard Gere, and a new one, Jeff Bridges! I collected rosaries throughout South America and I journalled our trip onto pre-painted and aged pages, so when I got home, it was pretty much complete. I took so many photos and posted them on my personal FB page throughout the trip (Dayna Davidson Collins), so for now I’ll post just a few from Buenos Aires, where we concluded our trip.
