Lollie and other Oden researchers,

I wanted to say a quick thank you for all of the wonderful information that you provide to the world through your adventure, and -of course- research. I feel very lucky to have been a small part in this experience, eagerly awaiting Lollie's next journal, and learning each time about a place where I would never dreamed I would "go". Your hard work and diligence has allowed many of us "back home" to experience something truly AMAZING! I hope that with your return, you will be assured that you have taught us all something, and it is not just about science! Your excitement and zeal for life proves that there really is an adventurer in all of usā€¦ and we all should embrace life to the fullest extent! Thank you for sharing this experience with me.

Emily! So great to hear from you! I hope you had a great holiday. And thanks for the kind words- my goal was to virtually take you there; it sounds like maybe I did. I will have so much more to share when I get back. Keep reading- there will be a few more journals before I return!Lollie
