We are riding to the house, the terminal ride of our five week adventure to South America.  Nicida and I look at each other smiling, for two reasons; it was a very successful trip, all our hours of researching, planning and more research paid off.  We are also smiling because we are glad to be home.  We have been on the road for over a month.  We enjoyed our time in South America; we saw and did all that we had planned to see and do.  Somewhere during our trip, I don’t know when, it became an adventure.  We didn’t plan for the excessive Lima traffic resulting in multiple buses and a taxi to get to our destination; the multiple; not one, not two, but three flat tires driving across Patagonia; protests in Santiago; the vastness of Patagonia – a two lane ribbon of road which we drove over 2,000 miles seeing other vehicles only occasionally, and many other stories.  We remember, are able to talk about, smile and laugh about all these experiences – making it an adventure.
