Today I came across a very good blog South American Explorations about a recently married couple traveling through the South America. There are some very good postings such as this one about Peninsula Valdes.

Sadly, the blog ends abruptly with a posting about one of the pair, Alli, being hospitalized in Santiago, Chile, with a blood clot affecting sixteen inches of her leg. The post states that she needed to spend 14 days for treatment in Santiago before returning to Australia. No postings followed.

That sounds really serious. We truly hope that she is doing well and is fully recovered. Best of luck!

Here’s a list of some of the interesting people and their blogs traveling around South America:
