A Year in South America

Joan I travelled to Latin Amereica 20 years ago - in 1980 - but here I am with such clear, and at times, vivid memories I finally decided to put pen to paper. Mostly for my children Hannah and Joseph but also for nieces and nephews who may want to travel to South America one day. I have recorded my route, highlights and memories of the trip; if any one of them (or anyone else) might like to visit some of the same places they could compare notes.
