| 13th March 2007 tom | viajero - From: There are 3 uses of a giant tortosies tale......Pee, Poo, and Rock and Roll que tal? good to meet you man. looks like you had a great trip. i will be in good old des moines iowa in august. maybe you'll have to make the trip down. peace |
| 12th March 2007 Keith Michalski | WOW - From: There are 3 uses of a giant tortosies tale......Pee, Poo, and Rock and Roll Reed that has to have been one hell of a trip. Thanks for sharing. |
| 12th March 2007 Misti | Safe Travels - From: There are 3 uses of a giant tortosies tale......Pee, Poo, and Rock and Roll Hi Reeder, Thanks for the opportunity to experience this trip with you. Of course, it's much better for you since you are there - but it was great reading what you were up to and all that you had the chance to experience. Give me a call when you get back - and if I don't talk to you pre-birthday - HAVE A GREAT 27TH BIRTHDAY! Travel safely! Misti |
| 27th February 2007 harry b | - From: Back to City Life for Bit enjoying the blogs. looks like your having a great time.you are fortunate to be in S.A. Had 15" inches of snow and ice. Driving is bad but we don't need to get out. |
| 23rd February 2007 Reedo | Heres what I know - From: Hasta Lavista to Buenos Aires....at least for now In buenos aires there are many things you can do but it all depends on what you like. Recoleta cemetary, the theatres, tigre which is the city at the start of a huge delta north of there. Iguazu falls is a short plane ride, mendoza which is the wine capital of argentina and has good whitewater rafting, you might be able to get pretty cheap flights at the aerolineas argentina offices and be able to go anywhere you want in argentina for around 100 bucks if so I would check our los glaciers national park and ushuaia. There is a good market in san telmo in sundays that is pretty neat too. The city is great and youll end up wanting to stay a lot longer than 6 weeks. Everyone does and cant explain why. Check out other travel blogs and by the argentina rough guide for more info. Also as far as the spanish school I would only sign up for one week at a time and if you really want to learn it find a private teacher outside of one of the spanish schools. It should be around 10 bucks a hour but youll learn a lot faster and at your pace and not the classes. |
| 19th February 2007 valeriavine | spanish lesson? - From: Hasta Lavista to Buenos Aires....at least for now Hi! I'm going to be in BA in a couple of weeks and would like to learn some Spanish to make the experience a little more enjoyable. I'm there for about 6 weeks mainly to dance tango. any thoughts? |

| 12th January 2007 Big Daddy | Life is Great!!!!!! - From: Pictures Every time i look at you blog,i look back when i was your age,and think? maybe there was more to see, explore and exsperience,other than starting a Business at 21.and working 350 day's a year and not taking the time to enjoy the wonderful wonders this world and our country has to offer. Your a pretty amazing son,some times hard to understand what your thinking. But i am catching on a little at a time. I am really excited that your having such a great time. Be streetsmart, Don;t assume NOTHING. Sometimes new friends can be your worst enemy. take a little more time than usually to analze your actions. Were having a great time in beautiful islamorda, YOUR DOG MISES BUT WANTS YOU KNOW THAT GRANPA IS TAKING GOOD CARE OF HER. LOVEYA REED. BIG DADDY |

| 11th January 2007 Mary | Buckeyes - From: Pictures It's a good thing you only had a 20 inch screen to view the game ... you wouldn't have wanted to see it any bigger screen than that.

| 10th January 2007 Debi & Wayne Crosby | initial reading - From: Testing...Testing...123 Reed...just got this blog information from the Stampede website. They send weekly emails to many of us & saw it there. Sorry we didn't get to talk to you before you left. Didn't realize that you were leaving so soon. I traveled alone through Guatemala & Mexico when I was much younger. And learned a lot of Espanol Please be careful, especially in Columbia. South America can be very dangerous for Americans. And with your red hair I don't think you'll pass for a native. Be safe, have a wonderful time & we will pray for your safety and world wide learning. Send lots of photos! Love, Debi & boys |
| 10th January 2007 Todd | Brother - From: Its Hard to Describe in Words Hey bro, im so glad your having the time of your life. I wish i could be there with you & am working on making it happen.

| 9th January 2007 Nancy | Pictures - From: Its Hard to Describe in Words Loved all the pics and stories to go along. can't wait to read the next one. Great travel journal! Stay safe. |
| 8th January 2007 alex rust | wish i were there! - From: Its Hard to Describe in Words sound like you are havin fun. sittin here at work reading about BA makes me want to be down there so bad. and i know this is hard to do, but if you really want to learn spanish(especially if you want to learn fast) you need to isolate yourself from anyone who speaks any english. they did that to me when i lived in brazil and i hated it at first but it pays off big time. cant wait to see you in rio!!! |
| 8th January 2007 Kelly Holowaty | Giver - From: Its Hard to Describe in Words Reedo I am glad the first week went good. The pics look great and it sounds like your having fun. I wonder if you can get the OSU championship game at one of the pubs I doubt it but I am sure you can watch in online. Take care and I will talk to you soon. Kelly |
| 8th January 2007 Mary | Good time! - From: Its Hard to Describe in Words Reed, Looks like you are having a wonderful time in Argentina. Those girls are remarkable ... lots of choices, huh? Bet they love the red hair! It does not surprise me that you are being so accepted. Reminds me of a few years back in Columbus! I had the same problem when I taught ESL because the students would never practice outside of class. I know you will work on your Spanish, si? Big game tomorrow night! Mary |
| 6th January 2007 Gary Lynn | Bolivia - From: Wake Up Call to Reed Whiting Linda forwarded your blog to me. Sounds like your having a great adventure. Good to being doing this while your still young. Good luck with your Spanish. It'll be good to be forced to learn it. I recommend you learn about altitude sickness (prevention and treatment) before heading to Bolivia. Hate to have your trip spoiled... |
| 6th January 2007 Linda | Brazil - From: Wake Up Call to Reed Whiting Reed - if you go to the carnival in Brazil, you have to be careful - Rio de Janeiro is NOT a safe city or safe area. The exchange student who stayed with us last year was from there and he told us all about it. So do your homework before you go! |
| 6th January 2007 Alton | Torture - From: Testing...Testing...123 On My next trip to the US we were to do some fishing and hunting. Instead I am in Dallas with the Wife and Daughter being tortured in something they call a Mall.. I hope your are having a much better time then I am having. I believe I'll have to chose the lesser evil and spend some time with my idiot buddies in Columbus... Be Safe Keep Safe Alton |
| 5th January 2007 Reedo | that really hurts cong from the most boring dude i know - From: Trains, Planes, and Automobiles.... Things are great down here. >The broads are unreal but pretty difficult to talk to with my spanish. Ive been hanging out ith a bunch of travelers from teh school up until this point but I think starting next week Im going on my own. I have to meet locals and talk spanish all the time if Im ever going to learn it. Keep in touch bro. |
| 5th January 2007 Reedo | Unreal - From: Trains, Planes, and Automobiles.... These broads down here are smokin bro. And down to earth to. At least the travelers from brazil. The language barrier is going to be tough with the local girl but what the hell i gotta try. I should have some good stories after teh weekend. Ill let you know. I gotta get away from all these backpackers soon or my spanish is not going anywhere. later reed |

| 29th December 2006 Alton | Fly Fishing down south - From: Testing...Testing...123 Way to go Buddy! However! You better buy yourself a pair of those glasses Mr. Magoo wears. Bear in mind Whiting!
