And we finally made it!!!



Well after a flight from Toronto to San Salvador, El Salvador then to San Jose, Costa Rica then to Lima, Peru and finally to Santiago, Chile we slept in "la aeropuerta" from 3:00am EST till 8:00am EST. Upon awakening we ate and planned out a little while waiting for Cameron and Nicole to arrive. This was all done of course on limited sleep and tons of adrenaline, excitement because at exactly 12:27 pm we saw Cameron and Nicole through the second floor windows of the arrivals section of "la aeropuerta"...
After we all checked into Hostel Bellavista Nicola and I had a very long overdue shower the whole gang decided grub was in order. We left Hostel at approx. 2 pm only to return @ 10:30pm!
Needless to say this town is an amazing blend of euro-spanish culture and we have soaked it all in. We have walked the streets all day in amazement stopping of course to sample each patio´s cerveza and emplanada´s... I´d like to report that both are tasty and never satisfying of the desire in which you were originally driven to satiate.
This is the exact the city we needed to start our adventure in this continent and these are the people we needed to have to enjoy a journey of this exact calibre...
My wife and I are marching down a road I only wish were paved with the footsteps of all my dearest aquaintances, I guess ours will just have to be the ones to mark the trail for all to follow...
