Well, we got home from our trip a couple of days ago and after finally sleeping off the jet lag and unpacking, I can't believe it's over! I seriously felt so cut off from the world while on our trip. We didn't have the most consistent internet access, so while I missed talking to everyone more frequently, it was kind of a nice break from reality. Can I just say again how much I love South America? and for those who aren't as great of fans or have not yet had the chance to experience it, I cannot recommend it more highly. Even after having traveled many places, I still come back to it. To me, it's like this hidden treasure. It has the most beautiful culture, architecture, natural beauty, plus some of the most amazing people you'll ever meet.
So, just a quick recap of our trip: we started off in Santiago, Chile and then traveled south within the country to Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, Puerto Montt, Puerto Chacabuco and Punta Arenas, then we went to the Falkland Islands, Ushuaia, and Puerto Madryn, Argentina, Montevideo, Uruguay and lastly ending up for a few days in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Every place was so unique and beautiful, just wish my pictures could do it justice. A few of the highlights were seeing the penguins, watching the tango dancers and by far the best, seeing old friends.
One of my favorite quotes is by George Moore: "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." I think that is so true, every time I fly home even after loving where I've been, I just feel so happy to be home and lucky to live in such a great country.
Happy New Year's!! Hope it's a happy, eventful year for everyone!!!
