South: Introduction and Preview

Isla Martillo

Introduction:
The goal is to travel the entire length of North and South America only by bus, van, and taxi.  Last month, I completed the southern segment, from Lima, Peru, to Ushuaia, Argentina.



The South series will be a travelogue.  It will cover the journey's highs, lows, and in-betweens.  I will describe the sites I visited, the people I met, and I will offer interpretations of my experiences (historically, socioeconomically, geographically).  And of course, there will be plenty of automobile coverage.
