We left Chile very early in the morning at 4am. The plane was awesome! It had movies in your own tv, breakfast and drinks. It was very cool watching the sun rise. After 3 hours, the plane landed. We got off and got our bags and a guy came up and told us the dogs… Continue reading The Beach House — Annabelle

Sylvia — Divercity!!
Yesterday I went to Reversity and it was really fun. We took a combi and then we got dropped off. It was a really long ride. We were dropped off on the highway and we crossed the street on a really long walking bridge and we got to the children’s museum and they were closed… Continue reading Sylvia — Divercity!!
Bolivia!
When last our story ended, Ryan, Jack and I had arrived at our hotel at 4am and fell asleep. We slept until noon and then took a long walk downhill. La Paz is a canyon. The Choqueyapu river flows through it but the river has been nearly completely built over so it is almost entirely underground… Continue reading Bolivia!
Relentlessly Forward
Like Farid said in a blog comment (and now my favorite quote): But overall this unrelenting capacity to go forward! Or, like Scuffy the Tugboat: there is only one way to go and that was with the rushing river On Friday, April 26, we sold the camper. The man who bought it did not have a… Continue reading Relentlessly Forward
Stressed – and NO ONE tell me it is desserts spelled backwards!
**Note that while I was typing this blog post, Mark texted me that he had hit a car! (advice from me: never text anyone that – just call). He backed into a car while leaving the vet.

Today we went to a playground and it was really fun. I got hurt. I banged head and also Annabelle fell and twisted her leg and Max… Continue reading Spiderwebs of Chile – Sylvia (and playgrounds)
Wine. And some German Beer.
One of the best things about Chile is that wine is cheaper than bottled water, soda, juice or milk. We have become very used to cheap wine, where we start to think that $10 a bottle is really a lot to pay for wine. We have pretty much stuck to drinking the wines Chile… Continue reading Wine. And some German Beer.
The Beginning of the End
Today, Thursday, April 18, we have gone as far south as we will go. We drove the Pan American to the end. The Pan American ends in southern Chile on the island of Chiloe. We took a ferry to the island and drove south until the only option was turn around or wait for the… Continue reading The Beginning of the End
Lucy, the Ecuadorian Stray Dog
We always meant to write this post but we never seemed to have the time. In Otovala, Ecuador, our dog Louie got hit by a car. He was beloved by all and one of the clearest memories I have of the trip is all of us crying and kneeling around Louie’s body in the grass… Continue reading Lucy, the Ecuadorian Stray Dog
