With the many people that inspire us and help to make the expedition a success we have decided to start a little segment called “The Person of the Weekâ€. It is exactly what it sounds like…each week we will present you with an individual that has impacted TWBR. This week we would like to call attention a whole family of very kind and generous individuals…so without further ado: the Dagna Family of Bahia Blanca, Argentina.

Or as I like to sometimes call them, DYKs. Either way…After spending almost 6 weeks in one place there are a few things that you can’t help but notice about a culture while also picking up some random trivia along the way.

A district of Buenos Aires named La Boca is probably what many of you have seen in travel photos of this city. It is a place where the local people have managed to spruce up one of the poorer neighborhoods in the city by painting the walls with bright colors and lining the streets with eccentric artwork…

“Africa, haha, those were some times.” …
A brief insight to our foreseeable future…

There is a Ship on the Horizon
