We love the adobe houses around New Mexico, and the beautiful style is such a symbol of the Southwest.

We arrived in Buenos Aires last week and realized that to be fully accepted as ‘Porteñas’, we needed to get our very own Mate, a hollowed-out gourd used to drink Yerba Mate.

Mexico was only the second country of our trip, but we (unexpectedly) fell in love with the country and extended our stay there again and again – in the end we spent 88 days there, and traveled more than 3600 kilometers (2370 miles) through the country.

Anyone who has been to Playa del Carmen knows 5th Avenue, or ‘Quinta Avenida’ in Spanish. That is, if you ever needed to use your Spanish while you were in Playa.

We had no idea about our three hour layover in Guatemala last Monday, but this incredible landscape made us realize that we need to come back for another visit.

Unlike the hippie/backpacker friendly Zipolite, the Mazunte locals still live very much off the land.

After our six-month break, we finally returned to South America last week. Santiago was a quick stop before shooting up to the northern beaches to enjoy sun, sand and spring weather here in Chile.

There is no question why NASA does test runs for its Mars missions here – the landscapes are incredible. One glance through this photo essay and the Atacama Desert will surely land on your Must See list!

We have never shared a picture of ourselves in our Polaroid of the Week series, but this week we’re sharing our wireless office here in Mexico! Now don’t get jealous…

This week’s Polaroid features one of the many sea lions we ‘met’ in Valdivia, a small town in Southern Chile, this week! Check out this cheeky sea lion attack!
