Sunday in McMurdo

I had a relaxing Sunday in McMurdo. I slept in after a late night at the Freak Train Talent Show. I jumped roped in the show and had a great time at Galleger's, one of the bars. There are lots of interesting poeple here from all over.

Today I went to Discovery hut. A hut used by both Scott and Shakelton. It was built in 1902. It has Austrailian outback archecture, which was not very good for Antarctica. It was really cold in the hut, even back when th explorers were using it. Most poeple used it for shelter but would camp outside on ships if they could. After the hut tour, Joe and I went for a three mile hike. I posted some more pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/lora.koenig/AntarcticaBlog


This will probably be my last post to this blog. We will be keeping the ITASE log up to date on a daily bases. Since I will be writing most of these check there for updates.
