<edit: By the time I had time to write about our South American odyssey, four months had gone but. I only hope I can remember enough to make it interesting. We did keep a diary for the six weeks, so hopefully I didn't miss too many important details.>
Above is an overview of our South American adventure. We started in Lima, Peru (left of map) and finished in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Day 1 - Travel to Lima, Peru
Today we set of from Calgary and being late in September when the leaves have already dropped off the trees. So the long brown of winter had started and it was getting a bit on the cool side. Our flight took us through Houston, Texas and over the Caribbean (unfortunately late in the evening by that point). We arrived in Lima around 11.30pm local time & were quite relieved to finally get to bed around 12.30am. That wasn't until after our first taste of crazy South American driving from the airport to the hotel (more on the crazy driving later). We'd been awake since 4am Calgary time (about 1hr behind Lima).
There's nothing particularly interesting to note from the day other than we confirmed that Texans are true to popular belief... They're huge (obese) people!
