Life's a Stitch

A trip of epic proportions

I always asked my kids the same two questions after they returned travelling: What was the best part and what was the worst?

 

This was an epic 29 day tour of four countries in South America: Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador (including the Galapagos) and Peru. Our travel mates were nine other Canadians and one Brit. 

 

The best part? Tied between visits to Machu Picchu:

and the Galapagos:

The worst part? Eight days involving internal flights. That’s our own responsibility, what we’re we thinking? We covered a good part of an entire continent. I’ll cover each country in separate posts soon.

Caching at the middle of the earth…and more

Those who know me are aware of my passion for geocaching, the world wide gps guided treasure hunt. I’m not a fanatic, although C, AKA the anti-cacher, might dispute that. In 16 years I’ve logged over 750 finds. 

 

Geocaching takes you to well known sites or introduces you places you otherwise might not have discovered. These past few weeks have added a new continent to my Geo adventures - South America.

 

These three finds required photo proof:

Rio de Janiero, Brazil

Buenos Aires, Argentina 

and the Middle of the Earth City in Ecuador.

More good memories to come.
