Adam and I split up after Pucon.  He wanted to go directly to the north of South America, and then onto Asia...  I was on a slower pace, so we decided to say goodbye to each others smelly socks and become solo travelers.  Feeling a little separation anxiety, I almost immediately latched onto Glynn and Martina who were on my bus to Pucon.  They were in the last three weeks of three years of traveling!  I spent my pre-birthday days and the birthday-eve with these to.  Together we threw back quite a few cocktails.
