Hi Nell, How is the food on board? It's probably better than Space food.
It looks like the penguins are having a blast! I hope they get use to the weather quickly! Can't wait to hear more about landing in Antarctica. Cheers, Mary Beth

Hi Mary Beth,The food is great! I just finished dinner; I had kebabs and rice. It is Dr. McClintock's birthday (one of the scientists I will be working with) so we also had cake. We are experiencing 12-14 foot seas right now, so getting the cake out to him with the candles intact was a bit of a trick, but my sea legs are getting stronger!
Glad you're following along. More flat penguins will follow...
