This is a fun blog to take a deep dive into.  http://ouropenroad.com/  The
Harteaus, a young family of three, head to South America in their Subaru
powered Westy and spend five adventurous years (with two engine rebuilds) on
the road before the trip ends in disaster when the barge they took to cross
the Amazon delta was captured by pirates.  They escaped (two adults and
their two young daughters, one born on the trip) in the middle of the night
on a surfboard and survived. Unfortunately, they were not able to get their
eventually recovered van out of Brazil ( but they did get their laptop with
photos back), and are now living in Bali.  Their story continues on their
Instagram page for those that have an Instagram account:
https://www.instagram.com/ouropenroad/?hl=en  The story of their survival
adventure in Brazil is there too. Adam Harteau is an artist and a great
photographer, there are some spectacular photos here! (sorry about that,
Eric, my friend).



For those not on Instagram just sign up for an account, you don't have to
post anything and you can view other people's accounts.  Some of you might
even want to post some of your own adventures.



Enjoy,  this is a great escapist read for these trying times!
