I too followed their journey from San Diego thru Central America, then by boat across the Isthmus to S. America to the tip of Tierra Del Fuego, w/ a side trip to Easter Island or The Galapagos,(not by Bus) I forget, then, then back up to Chile or Peru where they shipped the bus to S. Africa to travel/live some more, before finally moving into an apt in Eugene, Ore!  I lost track of them after that, so looking forward to their next journey.  When do they work for a living???  LOL

Quite the trip, nice reports, pics on their website, well worth following-I didn't know they wrote a book, but I would imagine it would be worth reading.

Pax,
