Sidewalks swirl in Rio’s Copacabana Beach.

In 2012, I visited Brazil and Argentina. My name is Mark Fischer, and my wife, Bridget, and I were guided on that trip by our sons Paul (in Brazil) and Carl (in Argentina). Our middle son, David, also traveled with us along with his friend and future spouse, Zhi-Ning Liang.  We spent time at various Brazilian cities, visited Iguazú Falls, enjoyed cosmopolitan life in Buenos Aires, and even took a one-day trip to Uruguay.  Click on Brazil and Argentina to read more about our adventures.

Crowds gathered at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.

Then in 2018 Bridget and I visited Mexico City.  On that trip, John and Laura Lewis guided us, and we were able to meet Laura’s mother and brothers and sisters.

In 2022, the entire family spent a week at Christmas time in Cancún on the Yucatán Peninsula and were able to visit the famous archaeological site of Chichén Itzá.
