Cheese its. I'm in Antarctica.
I can't believe I'm actually here right now. After "boomerang"ing on our first try (making it 98% of the way there but due to the poor conditions on the Ice we had no choice but to turn right back around)...we were all convinced it was going to happen again. So when we landed I was in shock. Before I knew it I was stepping off the plane into blinding white light, which, once I put sunglasses on, turned out to be beautiful mountains and ice as far as you can see. I didn't have much time to soak it all in, because we were being shoved left and right into these huge raised bus/vans. I managed to sneak one picture with the plane. : ) We bounced around in our seats for about 45 minutes until we finally arrived to "MacTown" (McMurdo Station...noobs). We then went directly to the Galley (the Cafeteria basically. And actually where I'll be sleeping, eating, and working). After orientation, dinner, getting the keys to our rooms, I walked over to the building where all the luggage was dropped off. I think it was then that it finally hit me that I'm in Antarctica. It's beautiful and wonderful and it feels so good to be here. I'm excited. (BTW Kirk, I wish you were here : ( ) I have to go to bed...work is at 6am tomorrow...oh boy. Pictures are coming soon!!!
