One Trip. Many Firsts.

Butch and I leave Saturday for a trip to Chile and Bolivia.  This is a big trip for Butch. His first time in South America, first time south of the Equator, first trip requiring shots (Yellow Fever), first "outdoorsy" trip and farthest distance from home.

I hope he enjoys this trip because I am running out of easy countries in the quest to visit 50 countries by 50.  As you can see from the list below, most of western Europe has been crossed-off.

Chile and Bolivia are 38 and 39.
