My Dad is going to add a lot from Macchu Picchu so here are a couple of photos of me there!! It was very high with very steep drops all around it so my Mum and I stuck to the main paths and let Dad run around like a kid.

We are in Virginia, USA! So much to catch up and what better time to do it then now - we were going to visit my Mum's cousin in North Carolina but there are Winter travel warnings for the next 12 hours so we are staying in and watching the snow fall on the golf course outside our apartment - very cool!
So to catch up, first I will fill in the main parts of South America that we went to after Brazil - Argentina, then across to Chile and up to Peru. In Peru we went to Macchu Picchu which my Dad is going to upload lots of photo's from, including a new recent slideshow.
After Peru we sailed from Lima to San Diego on a crusie ship.......more on that soon. 
Now for our overland crossing of South America. As you scroll down, you will see me in the high plains around Salta, Argentina and then crossing the Andes into Chile. In Chile we finally saw the Pacific Ocean again - all my friends were just over the horizon in Batemans bay!! You may notice me sleeping in a car - that was waiting for a border post to open at the Chile-Peru border!
