But the honeymoon of Lucio and Martha Grand has included hundreds of people, extended over 15 countries and is nearing its second year. The couple was married on June 4, 1960 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Four days later, they left on an extended honeymoon...They have traveled on the Amazon River by boat, lived with Indians, hitchhiked most of the way to Los Angeles and have enjoyed every bit of it...Both of them hope programs can be set up to encourage young people to hitchhike all over North and South America."
