The boys have been busy again – lots of learning about their world. As usual, we’ve taken advantage of our travels in order to make the kids’ “school work” more relevant and meaningful. They’ve learned about a wide variety of things lately!
We visited a life-size replica of Magellan’s ship
We saw Magellanic Penguins
We played with petrified wood
We learned about the Falkands War
We saw new wildlife – guanaco and ñandu
We cycled along the Atlantic Ocean again
Yup – we’ve learned a lot lately!
Your family is inspiring. I learned of you a few weeks ago when you commented on the BikesDirect facebook page. I’ve had a great time since then reading your blog archives. For some time my wife and I have been thinking there is more in store for our family. We’ve considered moving to Costa Rica & other far-flung places where I could either telecommute or find a local position. Somehow our goal of hiking the Appalachian Trial seems so doable in comparison to your adventure — only 4 or 5 months, not 3 years! At lunch today my 10 year old son said, “We always talk about this stuff, but we never do anything.” We are moving toward doing something different, we just don’t know what. Thanks for making your experience a shared event through this website and providing inspiration for families who are really looking for more than life in the ‘burbs . . . .

My 4th graders and I tuned in again on Friday morning and we are so excited for all of you! You are likely basking in the glory of success at this very moment. Your recent photos of the Magellanic penguins on the beach and the gorgeous glaciers are breathtaking! We will continue to enjoy perusing your wonderful sight through the end of our school year!
