this is not the amazing race

realized we never actually explained our change of plans. we had a boardroom meeting in a coffee shop a couple of weeks ago and decided there was just no way we wanted to keep a pace that would let us see all we´d planned in south america in 6 weeks. so we decided to work our way down the coast of brazil and into southern chile. instead of rushing through chile up to peru we´re taking the time down here in patagonia and will work our way slowly up to santiago. figure we´ll hit northern chile, peru, and bolivia next time...
