陳小芳之為什麼
（圖說：taken by Hank, in Yilan, Taiwan）
(中文不是很好，這篇中間穿插英文的短文花了我三個小時的時間，請見諒…)
首先要感謝媽媽和爸爸的大力支持。沒有他們的鼓勵，我應該還是在某高中任職的30歲無聊女子。媽媽聽到我要去南美洲時沒啥太大的反應，可能是我太常出國了吧。

Sand in my hair, Dreams in my head
（圖說：taken by Hank, at Lomas de Arena,Santa Cruz, Bolivia）
I have a dream. Well, actually, I have many dreams. And none of them was/is related to South America. I dreamed about dancing on the street with Mexican mariachi once but that's as close as it gets to where I am now, which is about 9 hours away (don't quote me on this)by plane and 10 million miles from home(needless to say this is an exaggerated estimate).

大學念的是新聞攝影，經常有機會外出拍照，一天在中正紀念堂拍攝巴西來的嘉年華舞者，從此在南美洲在心中留下深刻的印記，並發願有一天一定要去遊玩一番。

Standing at a Crossroad of the Point of Return
He decided to live his life. I decided to halt my life. He went to Peru and I followed. Whether it was the right thing to do or not, we will never know. The point is, we are here, in South America(at the point of writing, we're located in Santa Cruz, Bolivia), living and halting our lives together.
Our first stop was L.A. I traced his steps from airport to airport, all 5 of them. First, CKS airport, LAX, El Salvador, Lima and then Cusco. It took me(and him on separate occasions) two days to get to where he was and it took him a month to get me to where he was. I suppose this is what relationship is all about. He goes, I follow.
