We just have a few days left with our Korean/Latino son, Myungsu and we want to make the best of them. Swimming, nature and a big city for the fun. Our campsite offered open grassy … More America and Lincoln, Argentina
With all the dog paperwork prepared, we were ready to cross the border to Uruguay from Argentina. This was to be a quick visit, as we didn’t find much we wanted to see or do there.

The changes in the world and the limits of tourist visa renewal in Brazil had sent us back to the USA.

But now … More Returning to South America
