Luggage and all! It has been an unbelievable month! Educational, frustrating, exhausting, invigorating, fattening. Now it is time to recuperate and focus on the home front for a while. The rest of our furniture is getting delivered this week so we’ll have plenty to occupy us until the next travels.
Things to note from this trip:
- Grafitti: On every surface in Chile and almost nonexistant in South Africa.
- Wine: Both Chile and South Africa produce EXCELLENT wines. In SA, they seem to be a little less pretentious about it: every restaurant brings a bucket of ice to put in your wine if you want.
- Likelihood of return visits: High. We didn’t venture out of the central region of Chile and Patagonia is too interesting to not want to visit. And a few days on the beach in Cape Town seems like a fine January travel destination. Both places have hiking options that we couldn’t explore.
Thanks for tagging along.
