 Dear Mr. B,

              Have you ever been in the water? If so, how cold was it?How many people have left since you came? Are you excited to leave Antartica or do you Want to stay?

I have not been in the water here but I have felt it and it is of course very cold. It is abut 28 degrees F.People are coming and going from here all of the time so I really do not know how many. Some people just pass through on their way to the South Pole or to some other location in Antarctica.
I am ready to get back to my students in Blanco, but I would also like to do and see more here.
Mr. B.
