You have no idea

Dear Friends and Family,

There are absolutely no words to describe this insane adventure I've been on. It has been the best days of my life and I am so happy here. Argentina is a beautiful country and I am so so so happy here. I am leaving for Antarctica in a matter of hours and just wanted to say hello. I know the best has yet to come. I would love to write more about my experience but for now I know you all understand that I am on my own path and should DEFINITELY not be on the internet while in the most beautiful place in the world.

I've never been much for words, so I'll let my photos do the talking.

Endless Love,
Luke

This is hands down, the most phenomenal sunset I've ever seen. This photo was taken around 11:30 at night. It does not get dark until past midnight and the sun rises at 4am. While I'm on the ship, we will experience the longest day of the year with almost no nighttime. All I can say is that it was magic.

We were told not to touch the stray dogs because they are begging for food. I absolutely can't help but to fall in love with every dog here. They are all nice and looking for some love (and food) All I did was sit on the curb and eventually dogs come looking for attention. You can not walk down the street without seeing a pack of stray dogs. Oddly enough, it's been one of my favorite parts about Ushuaia, Argentina.


My friend Sasha and I climbed the hill behind the town. We cut through some fences and probably weren't supposed. This to me shows that life is about taking chances and hoping for the best. I am so happy to be here and I hope everyone at home is having adventures of their own. I will write profusely about my trip when I return but for now...


I'm off to the icy waters of Antarctica


PS dear people in Portland: save some snow for me!
