"I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn from what it had to teach" (Thoreau) My name is Reid and this is my blog for my trip to to the end of the world. For my first semester of my senior year of high school, I am heading down to the Patagonia region of Chile (a skip and a hop from Antarctica!). We are given one life, so let us live it deliberately.

Mellow
Island life combined with small town combined with latin america results in one thing, mellow. There is a large culture of "tranquilo" and everything is just a little slow. I am still trying to get used to this. I like parts of it but a large part of me wants to head out and adventure but the people here work, eat, sleep, hang out, and watch television. I thought that was America but its appears it has permeated to the end of the world. So much inside of me wants to get out and run and explore this area and learn as much as possible and I feel as though I am learning in a much more mellow way and not nearly as much as I could be. Here are some photos of the last couple weeks.
