Same blog, new continent!

Welcome back! We’ve been gone on a break for a while, but we are hitting the road tomorrow so we thought we’d share our supposed itinerary and what’s been going on. We’ve been hanging out in Reading, PA (Dan’s hometown) for the past six weeks. Dan was the best man in his friend Chris’s wedding, and we had to get extra pages put in out passports (!!!!), so we stayed at his parent’s house and planned our big trip to South America.

I’ve also been kinda sorta planning the move from Portland, Oregon to Philadelphia, PA. I got a driver’s license, looked at neighborhoods, registered to vote and checked out schools. We are both planning on going to grad school when we get back from South America so we have one eye on that.

But first things first: SOUTH AMERICA!! Our itinerary looks something like this:

Buenos Aires, Argentina --> Puerto Iguazu, Argentina --> Montevideo, Uruguay --> Mendoza, Argentina --> Valparaiso, Chile --> Santiago, Chile --> La Serena, Chile --> Antofagasta, Chile --> Uyuni, Bolivia --> Potosi, Bolivia --> Sucre, Bolivia --> Cochabamba, Bolivia --> La Paz, Bolivia --> Copacabana, Bolivia --> Cuzco, Peru --> Nazca, Peru --> Lima, Peru --> Trujillo, Peru --> Cuenca, Ecuador --> Quito, Ecuador --> Pasto, Colombia --> Cali, Colombia --> Medellin, Colombia --> Cartagena, Colombia

So that’s it! We’ll probably change this a bunch as it goes, sleep over night in some small towns, get caught up in border crossings and whatnot, but that’s our tentative plan! We are planning on coming back possibly the last week in February, so that means about four months on the road. We are hoping for safe and healthy travels and we have everything from antibiotics to probiotics. We are generally feeling a little scared but super, super, SUPER excited!

Adios los estados unidos, bienvenidos argentina!!
