SCENES AROUND SOUTH AMERICA - SERIES #11

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

This travel quote is famous among dreamers and wanderers alike. It's a beautiful sentiment & tribute to taking risks. I like how romantic Twain’s description of travel is. I’m fairly confident that when my husband & I look back twenty years from now, we'll be very happy with the travel choices we've made.

 

Sorry that I had not blogged for a while. Been busy creating lots of small oil paintings and crafts for fund raisings. My last post was June 7, 2013. I am back this new year. Somewhat eager to finish my So. America journal soon. We embarked on our 49 days South America cruise last January 24, 2013. Our first year anniversary is over. It just feels the cruise happened yesterday.

 

This post is dedicated to Rhod, my husband. Last year, on February 4, 2013 he celebrated his 65th milestone birthday aboard the Grand Princess. This is my first time to post these photos.
