We just played a traditional sport of Argentina. It's like polo except you throw a ball around and score through a hoop. It used to be played with a live duck back in the day... Thank god that's not the case any more!
It's the most fun I've ever had playing a sport! The adrenaline rush you get when you have the ball in one hand and the reins in the other and you canter ahead with the goal in view... It's exhilarating!

Big sports in Argentina are polo and pato, both played on horses. These sports are a huge part of life here, producing some of the best players in the world. Kelly and Antonio are giving pato a try today.

Voici á quoi ressemble un barbecue argentin oú Asado. Ici la tradition du dimanche est de rassembler la famille autour d'un grand repas qui dure toute la journée. Tout ça a l'air très bon... Jusqu'á ce qu'on apprend ce que c'est... Intestins, rognons, foies, glandes... miam...

Pablo, our host and famous blogger asked the people in Argentina via his blog, Unblogged, what he should get us to eat. 95% said ASADO! Argentinian barbecue! Yeah! Thank you Pablo!

Tony just found out we're off to eat Asado, a traditional argentinian barbecue. Look at that happy face!

This girl thinks of happiness when she says Love!

A esta chica peruana le hizo feliz poder compartir su cultura -de la
que está muy orgullosa- con su amiga de España.

A ella su familia la mantiene feliz porque le brinda estabilidad :)

Si je pouvais choisir un super pouvoir ce serait de voler. J'adore toute activité qui s'y rapproche. Le parapente c'est de loin le meilleur! Le sentiment de liberté est unique! Quelle façon magnifique de découvrir la ville de Lima! En tout cas la vue était superbe de la haut!

En Otavalo la gente está muy agradecida de tener riquezas naturales
que les permite vivir bien

La importancia de la familia en Ecuador.

Parte de la felicidad de Otavalo, Ecuador está determinada por las
artesanías que hacen y comparten con el mundo.

Our daytrip to Mindo in the jungle of Ecuador really made us happy
people!

C'est parti pour notre aventure dans la jungle de Mindo où une série d'activités nous attend... Randonnée, plonger dans une cascade et le canopying.

What an amazing day! We went hiking through the rain forest in Ecuador while it was raining. I felt like a kid again, running, jumping and discovering new things. Then we came to a dead end that ended in a waterfall. I joked to the guide that we should go for a swim and the dude started taking off his clothes! I couldn't back out after that and thus began pure awesomeness in the rainy rain forest waterfall. Ha!

Nous avons fait un tour dans la jungle sous une pluie tropicale et sommes tombés sur cette magnifique cascade. En blaguant nous avons proposé au guide d'aller nager. Celui-ci très sérieusement a commencé a enlever ses chaussures. Aventuriers dans l'âme nous l'avons suivis. Nous avons même grimpé des rochers pour sauter au miliei de la cascade! Quel bonheur intense!

Another surprise awaited us when we reached downtown Quito. A group of
dancers showed us some traditional ecuadorian dances. There is such a
mix of cultures here that makes the country so rich. You can feel the
happiness all around you, in the warm of the people and their love of
their culture.

Entrevistando a María José que nos habla de cómo la felicidad es un
estado mental!

I love coffee and I found that in Colombia, it is not only a part of their culture, it's a key to their happiness as well.

As we stepped out of the airport we were met with the wonderful sound of drums. A group of young people were passionately beating their drums just for us! One of the girls there came up to me afterwards with a huge grin and told me that happiness in Ecuador lies in the warmth of the people. I believe her!

Colombians love to dance!

In Colombia, a tinto (coffee) can solve disputes, create friendships or start conversations. With coffee this good, I can see why.

Dancing is definitely one of the keys to happiness here in Colombia. In this pic I'm beat from an extended period on the dance floor. You can feel the rhythm in your heart and you can't help but to move along. We went to a bar called Andres and I figured out why this place is legendary. We danced our hearts out. The atmosphere there is unexplainable, amazing and electric! YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT FOR YOURSELF!!!!!

Camilo, 5 ans, a accepté de passer devant la caméra. En fait, Il adorait! Il en a même profité pour passer un message à la maman d'une de ses camarades de classe :"Il faut le punir parce que c'est un méchant!"

Colombia es un país lindo y de celebración! Es uno de los países
más felices del mundo y aquí nos dicen por qué

A 3200 mètres de hauteur Monserrate arbore une des églises le plus haut du monde. Des milliers d'autochtones viennent ici tous les jours pour assister à une des messes journalières.
D'ici nous avons une vue extraordinaire sur toute la ville de Bogota.

En Honduras sólo hay dos temporadas: una de calor y otra de mucho calor, jajaja . En ésta hace calor pero también llueve. Pero le damos gracias a nuestros anfitriones por traernos a Tela. Aunque está nublado la playa es preciosa

I'm told that here in Honduras there are only two seasons, hot and rainy. Right now we're in rainy.

Recibiendo la botella de El Salvador. La hizo un artesano de aquí llamado Oscar Jimenez: está preciosa!

WHOA, I FOUND HAPPY! I just ate the best tacos in the world at Nopal Inn tacos in Mexico City. Anazing!

We just had a wonderful talk with Martín the CEO of Pro Natura, a very important NGO who's mission is to conserve the biodiversity of Mexico. They work with Coca-Cola and several projects, mainly on purifying and recycling the water used in bottling plants.
"We have one vision, one goal: work together to heal the world" says Martín.
We were very touched by this encounter and we have promised him one thing: our commitment is to try to touch the people in every country we go and awaken their conscience.

Tony is sitting next to a bronze statue of the team América's biggest
fan. Happiness definitely knows this guy!

We're in the forth biggest football (soccer if you like...) in the
world. We just had to test the acoustics! The echo there is amazing.
Just imagine what it would be like with a full stadium of a 105 000
people there!

Our Happiness Bottle from Mexico has the main icons of Mexico : wrestling, party, music, nature and the day of the dead.

Ici au Mexique, au lieu d'interdire le graffiti, le gouvernement encourage les artistes à s'exprimer en leur proposant de décorer les enceintes de chantiers.

Built in 1902 to celebrate 100 years of independance.
Whenever the Mexican team win at football they party here!
For Antonio, it's such an iconic avenue, it's something that brings them together. It symbolises home for him, he can see it from his house.

Los tres con Nacho, el fan numero uno del América!

As I was looking at the flowers in a local market the lady who owns the stall came up to me and put this lovely rose in my hand. "A gift" she said. Now that really made my day!

It's so good to be in Antonio's home. The happiness in his mom's voice when she hugged him was priceless. Seeing them together warms my heart. At the same time, it breaks me in two to realize that throughout this year, I won't have this feeling. Because we don't stop in DC or Munich, I don't get a chance to show them my family, my home or the things that make me happy in those places. Seeing Antonio with his mom makes me miss my mom, my family, my friends and my home all the more.

A big surprise awaited us at lunch. We were chatting to journalists when suddenly the sound of drums filled the place. The next thing we see people dressed up in colorful outfits, painted faces and sporting the biggest grins ever. It wasn't long before their infectious energy caught us and got us dancing along with them!

We're looking down into the crater of an active volcano and it's the most amazing sensation! Masaya, a young volcano, offers incredible views and a landscape like no other.
We also received our Nicaragua bottle here which is a perfect setting. We're on a volcano and can spot a lake in the background. How fitting for the land of volcanos and lakes.

We're on a lake in Nicaragua called the Cocibolcai. It's HUGE! There are lots of little islands with houses and even hotels. It' beautiful!

You can't come to Panama without getting a traditional hat. One, it's a good souvenir; two, it protects you from the scorching sun; three, it looks really cool!
