Today was my last day in Mendoza before I leave Argentina and start to make my way back to Canada via Santiago. It has been an amazing journey into South American culture, meeting new people and making new friends, creating new memories solo and especially with my brother and photographing many amazing sites. Please allow me to revisit.

A SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL OF YOU:
I thank all of you that followed this part of my journey and leaving comments as it certainly assisted to keep me motivated. This journey has been very inspiring, emotional and spiritual for me. The photos I have taken by no means can ever replace visiting any of these sites, but they do give a glimpse of what I witnessed. The images will provide me opportunities to reflect on each part of my travels. I take photos that create an emotion for me and hopefully for others, I save these specific photos to my website.
As I have said many times, and many have said to me, I am fortunate to have good health and to be able to appreciate and truly enjoy what I have seen and done in my travels. I have pushed myself to go to places that I did not think I should go; to hike further than I dreamed I could go; to climb to peaks that I did not think was possible for me to climb. I truly do feel blessed.
My words of wisdom to all is hold on to your dreams. Turn your dreams into goals. Make your dreams and goals become reality. My true belief is live for the moment … live for today, every moment is precious.
So, what is up next? I will spend the month of May in Nova Scotia hooking up with friends and preparing for my next adventure. I hope to see many of you while I am there.
My next adventure starts at the beginning of June when I head out to Alberta to connect with my daughter, son, siblings and friends. After spending the month of June connecting, I will be starting a childhood dream to travel to Northern BC, Yukon, Alaska, Central BC and then the month of October living in a cabin in the wilderness. Once this is planned, I invite any of you who have had a similar dream to feel free to join me for any leg of the journey. If you prefer to just travel with me virtually, stay tuned for an update.
Again, thank you for being part of my journey – my dream. Bless all of you.
Cheers! Dan
