After our week in the wilderness of Patagonia (both in Chile and Argentina) we are back in the land of wifi… hurray! While we make our way north through the Chilean lake region, check out what some of our favorite travel writers have been up to in an accidentally book centric Weekly Roundup! I have […]
Scenario: I am on death row. The prison official asks me what I want for my last meal. My answer: “Oooooo anything chocolate please… and preferably in the form of ice cream. Thanks officer!” By now you probably can get an idea for how much I absolutely adore chocolate ice cream. I can eat […]
