Vaccinated against multiple medieval sounding diseases and equipped with many a pair of wool socks, here we are on the eve of departure, listening to the rain with tingly stomachs. Well, Melanie is listening to the rain. Tom is, of course, asleep as its after ten.
Welcome to our first blogging experience as we travel through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina . . . to start, over the next 8 months. We're both so excited to eat empanadas and asado and ceviche, see the Andes and temperate rainforests and patagonian planes, ride horses and tend goats, make cheese and artwork and work alongside some of reputedly the most welcoming people in the world. We hope we will amuse you with many entertaining and wondrous tales of our adventures in the spectacular southern hemisphere.
Although, it's just as likely to be a tedious account of innumerable hours of bus rides, mosquitos and cranky travelers with sore shoulders.
But here we go!
Thanks for staying in touch and being interested!
Mel and Tom
Good luck to both of you. See you when you get back
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photography, Mel. I'm Aunt Reen, and am visiting from Cal. Just missed seeing you off on your adventuras. I am thrilled for this WOOFIE redux for you, Tommy, just a bit sad I didn't get to see you before launch and meet the marvelous Mel. Thank you both for this blog; it brings it alive for we non-WOOFIEs back in N.A. Best to you both. Love, Reen
