Did you have a nice Christmas and New Year?

How big was the Gingerbread house-Did you eat it.

How many people can fit in the Zodiac?  It looks like it is on the ice, is it durable enough to drag on the ice?

Are you going to be sad when you leave?

We had a very nice holiday considering we all missed our families.  You can see photos and a video on the Dec 24 journal.  The gingerbread house is about 10 inches tall and it was too pretty for me to eat.  We had 4 adults and hundreds of pounds of gear in the Zodiac with no problem.  It is very durable and we were even able to use it like a little icebreaker to push sea ice out of the way.  I am going to miss this place a lot but I am very eager to be home with my family and friends too.
Take care,
