We are on the move again. We are leaving Bogota, Colombia and will be in Barcelona, Spain for the next 3 weeks. We’ve truly loved our time in South America and hope to be back sometime in the future.
April 27 – May 4, 2019 Out of 5 countries we visited while in South America, we were most pleasantly surprised by Colombia. I was amazed by how clean and orderly everything appeared, the streets were super clean, lawns manicured, parks were noticeably orderly, everyone we encountered was extraordinarily friendly and helpful, there was fresh … More Bogota, Colombia (Part 2)

We are done with Ecuador and heading to Bogota, Colombia

We used up every possible minute of our time in Galapagos, all five of us getting bad enough sunburns, we swam with iguanas, turtles, baby sharks, saw many giant tortoise and different bird species and lounged around with sea lions.We are now on our way … More Leaving Galapagos, heading to Mindo, Ecuador
April 19-23, 2019 We didn’t think we would be able to make it to Galapagos. You don’t usually do Galapagos on a budget. The “proper” (usual) way to do Galapagos is to stay a minimum a week, preferably longer (1-3 weeks) and do a guided cruise that includes visits to all the islands. We did … More Galapagos, Ecuador
On the move again, off to Galapagos today.
