Hello from Ontario, wear warm weather and hearty food finds us in good spirits to take the first steps on our journey around the world. A lot of final preparations are taking place between delicious home cooked meals. It seems everyone is keen to fatten us up in anticipation of our South American diet for the next four months. Say it with me - "I love beans!".

Ben has the Ukulele tuned and is writing this entry after having come back from an epic jam session with Grandpa Samson. We also got a hand drawn map showing the approximate location of the Samson family citrus plantation in northwestern Guyana near the Venezuelan border. We're hoping that nothing has changed since 1951, when the author of the map was last in the area.

We look forward to creating an exciting journal through this blog to capture our experiences and to share them with you all.

Hope you enjoy almost as much as we do.

B&P.
