Here are some tidbits I want to capture:
-In all three countries cars are quite new & mostly small
-Lots of motorcycles and most people with helmets
-In Uruguay, we saw lots of horses
-In all three countries, we do not feel like we stand out as tourist as our skin color & dress is similar to everyone around us. We do however miss hearing English as we didn't hear any except in Buenos Aires. Some speak it if we ask, but few.
-English T-shirt captions crack me up: Church of Good Shepherd, Central Michigan University, Tigers, Fathers-Son Weekend Camp, Holy Spirit Beach Club, Lovely Cat Friend, I know Everything, You're Always Loved, Harvard…etc. (Remember…these guys don't speak English!)
I love peering out the bus windows and seeing everyday life happening; see the homes people live in; see the stores they shop in; see the kids playing; see the churches they worship in; see the laundry hanging on the line; see the jugglers, windshield washers & peddlers at the intersections; see the fields planted to corn, hay & plants I can't identify; see the small roadside stands with the lonely merchant; see the people waiting for & loading buses; see the plants on the balconies of the tall apartment buildings; basically anything I see!
