I am still in McMurdo - this is not a bad place to be! Apparently there is bad weather somewhere because the C-17 that was supposed to land today is not coming due to weather. That means I get an extra day in "town."I walked down to the helo pad to say goodbye to the ENDURANCE team. Although it was sad to see them go, I am very excited to follow along with the project and know that they will have an amazing time out in the field! Everyone but Chris and Shilpa have headed to Lake Bonney. Chris and Shilpa have stayed in McMurdo in order to "escort" the robot out to Lake Bonney on Friday. It is nice to have them in town with me!
