Seawater Property Changes in the Southern Ocean

Hi, Mr. Botella!

This is Alex Her and I was just wondering, what do you do for fun? I heard during the live call today at school that you usually don't have much free time because there's a lot of work to be done, but they HAVE to give you some free time. So what do you do with it? Is there a secret soccer field that the company built without the government knowing?

Hi Alex, thanks fro writing with yr questions. I hope you enjoyed the live event.
I do work a lot but, yes, you are right, there is time for fun as well. We
have been playing ping-pong, although I am not that good, and it is harder
when the table moves with the waves. We have played foosball as well. We
had an assassin game that lasted four days. You can read about its rules on
last Sunday's journal. I also go out to take pictures of the scenery and
have watched a few movies. I wish there were a secret soccer field, that
would be awesome!
I would say that I do have a lot of fun creating videos and interviewing
people. It is work, but fun work as well. Thanks again for writing,
Juan.

Hey Mr. Botella, I enjoyed the live event today! It was so cool to be able to hear you talking to us and see the same thing that you were seeing while we were sitting in the auditorium and you were all the way in Antarctica! Technology is a curious thing! Talk to you later,
Ellen

Hi Ellen, I enjoyed the live event as well. I agree with you that technology is a
curious thing. I was in front of my computer on a rocking boat in the
Southern Seas and hundreds of students were following back home. Thanks for
writing,
Juan.
