About this blog

It is about time I saw South America, the last of the permanently inhabited continents for me to visit. There are 13 countries and I intend to see at least 10 of them. Could be a challenge, my Spanish is very limited and Portuguese non-existent (so far). But, what better way to learn? No schedule or set itinerary, just going to head South through Argentina from Buenos Aires and then back North through Chile, and we will see what happens after that. Not sure when I will be back.
