In Search of South America
by George Mahood
Funny, funny. Loved it. Want more.
Mr. Mahood and his wife (or is it girlfriend?) take a quick, backroads journey through a few of the countries of South America. There are lots of places they don't get to, but they do enough to make for a wonderful journey offroads and on.
Don't expect to get a real "feel" for the common people they meet along the way--they don't seem to interact with the locals too much, other than travel guides, hotel managers, and bus drivers. I'm not saying this as a criticism--they're definitely not snobs or jerks in any manner at all. They just seem to keep busy in the well-rubbed travel circuit and don't go out poking around in peoples' homes.
But for what they set out to do and see, they do magnificently. Loved it.
