About a year into our time down there, my wife ended up getting pregnant, which was a surprise to us. We had planned to go farther and farther south and eventually end up between Peru and Bolivia. I really wanted to do that and my wife is such an amazing person that she was ready to try it; she was very supportive. Obviously, we didn't end up doing that.
