Hey Mrs. Herrmann,
I hope that the trip is going well!! Have you seen much wildlife? I have always wanted to go down to the Antarctic so I could see all of the whales. I love whales! In fact, a few summers ago I went on a whale watching trip in Cape Cod. We had over 100 sightings and it was so cool! Well, I hope that the research goes as planned! We miss you!
Love, Sarah McNutt
P.S. Make sure you show us all the pictures of the animals when you get back!
