The End. August 2005-August 2006.

This trip is now over. My girlfriend Megan Lyles and I spent a year traveling all overland by bus and boat from our home in New York City to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We spent over 600 hours on busses, and boats. We wanted to see as much as possible, learn some Spanish, and eat everything. Over the course of the year we visited:


The United States
Mexico

Guatemala
Honduras
El Salvador
Nicaragua
Costa Rica
Panama

Colombia
Ecuador
Peru
Bolivia
Paraguay
Uruguay
Argentina

We have had an amazing time, and experienced so many wonderful, frustrating, frightening, and beautiful moments. If you have been following this photo blog all along, I hope you enjoyed it. If you are just now finding it for the first time, welcome, leave a few comments or questions and I hope you like what you see.

Megan and I are now engaged to be married. I proposed during our last days in Buenos Aires which for me made it a perfect ending to a fantastic year on the road.

La Recoleta Cemetery. Buenos Aires.

On our last day we finally made it to the famous La Recoleta Cemetery which was half of a block away from our last hotel of the trip. The cemetery is where a lot of notable Argentines are buried including one of the most famous cemetery residents Eva PerĂ³n. If you end up going, try to go when they offer the free tours. We strolled around, petted some feral cats, checked out Eva's grave, and then went to have a fine lunch at Hotel Etoile.
