Arctic adventures!
OMG--you're on another amazing adventure! Love that story of the calving of the giant berg, and your escape from the wall of water--how exciting! And those walrus are so adorable. Best wishes on spotting a polar bear or two!

Arctic beauty...
is entirely different, evoking the sense of loneliness and desolation. Your pictures capture this mood entirely.

I LOL'd at your ode to Mosquito. Me being from Canada and spending much time in the north am very familiar with that. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I can smell ya from here.

Birding paradise
I'm not a "birder" but do love looking at them when I am exploring new parts of the world. Sound like a great place to take in wildlife ....even in the summer. You really do have a great life.

awesome post, as usual
D&T, cool work you both are doing. I'm shocked that you're not more concerned about P-Bears. 100% hibernating? Given 12 days in the bush and no sightings, makes me think my dream or motorcycling north to Churchill might be less risky than I imagine. What do you think? Keep up the amazing journeys...I'm in awe.

Bears on Ice
We did not see any bears as they were all still out on the sea ice. However, today (July 2nd) there has been multiple sightings on land of these majestic creatures!

Great adventure!
I've enjoyed following your quite varied adventures, and how wise to end up in the warm north before heading back to Canada. The Quebrada de Humahuaca was one of my fave spots with those tiny towns and colored hills, and so different from your far northern home. Good luck adjusting to a settled life!

Fantastic photo
These curves remind me of the Atlas mountains in Morocco. That was sneaky snatching a bottled water from first class. When we head to South America I will try all of those hot chocolates and we can confer later. I'm sure I'll be in agreement. Sorry the adventure is closing. Eager to hear what is up next for you.

What! No litter!
Hi Theresa and Dave, Your stories made me want to slap on a backpack. Fabulous story of the downpour. Your pictures are romantically rugged. I loved the clothesline. Paraguay seems so free of the crossfire of the rest (most of the rest) of the world. Keep going! Keep storytelling! They are more than stories.

Answer
Haha, Robin, I miss you! Love all the comments! Firstly, Doug's prize of immeasurable value: please await a parcel in the mail from Paraguay, of 1 litre of their best ice cream. Secondly, yes, I am guilty of postponing the hot chocolate quest until it feels right to sample more in the cooler temps. That being said, Paraguay may not even know what chocolate caliente is, due to their hot climate...

Question
Doug is still waiting for his prize of immeasurable value for figuring out your Paraguay destination. Meanwhile, I am truly enjoy all your blog entries but have a serious question. Have you given up hot chocolate? How fickle if you have just because it's a little warm and humid. Oh, and one other question: How is the ice cream there?

Ironed With Your Clothes On
I had an experience like that at Subic Bay in the Philippines. Temperatures in the 90s and humidity to match. Any movement produced mammoth amounts of sweat. Visited several buildings with air conditioning systems set to max low. A few minutes inside and once you return outside, your glasses fog up, your camera lens gets foggy and you start looking for someone selling cold soda.

Correct answer
I shall eagerly await my prize of "immeasurable value". I was afraid it might have been El Dorado.

WOW
Somewhat unusual pic to choose...but never seen so many mussels. I've only seen the inland freshwater ocean of Rio de la Plata from Buenos Aires...Uruguay impossible to see as the expanse of water is so massive...always wondered what it would be like. But did you see any football?
