Dear Nell, Have a great final week at Palmer Station. I am glad you are able to get out in the boats as much as you are. Will others be going back with you on the boat or do they stay longer? It will be sad to say good by to your work and your writing and filming. You are quite a celebrity! What a homecoming you will have. Love, Gloria

Hi Gloria,Thank you! I am actually getting back on the ship Monday to start my
journey towards home. I will spend a few more days on the ship in the
reverse direction because the geology team needs to stop to set up their
camp and study site on Cierva Point. I will still be writing and
filming (and posting journals) on the ship, but the connection is much
slower so it will limit the number of pictures I can post and I don't
think I'll be able to do videos (I couldn't on the way here). I will
probably have to give up FB posts for a while too.
I've had such an amazing experience and will be sad to leave. On the
other hand, I am excited to see everyone at home!
Love,
Nell
