Back to home pageTom and Bob had the ultimate father-son adventure.
These are just a few of the hundreds of pictures that the
guys took on their epic trip to South America.
They flew from SeaTac to Atlanta, then to Miami, then Sao Paulo. They arrived in Sao Paulo at about 6:00 a.m., then flew to Campo Grande, where they boarded a flight to Corumbá.
Near Corumbá, there was a Jesus statue similar to the "Cristo Redentor" (Christ the Redemptor) statue in Rio de Janeiro.
