I hope this finds you all well, warm and with as big a smile on your face as I do now. :) So the fun news that was just announced today was on November 20, 2009... Mr. Neil Armstrong will be coming to station for dinner and a talk. He is arriving on the National Geographic Explorer. Everyone is so VERY excited. We can't take any pictures "with" him and post them, all these rules he has, but I will try and get some of him.. :)
The Explorer was here last week and took Rebecca with it. ( Rebecca is our Station Manager) and dropped off Bob. Changing of the guards really. She is so very lucky, she got to ride in luxury back to Argentina. The room they put her in usually goes for $20,000.00/PP for a 10 day cruise. Nice balcony room service, SO FUN. She deserves it!!!
We had the Explorer folks over for a little food and adult beverages and dancing. Also about 35 lbs of shrimp. The DEVOURED it! They can't have shrimp due to some questionable techniques people use to capture them. So I believe the last Explorer person left station at around 4:30am. Then had to turn around and give tours all day the next day.. I got to bed by two, but I did not have to smile and talk to the tourist!!! Lucky me.
I had a wonderful day on Sunday. The weather was BREATHTAKING and a group of us went out and hopped from one iceberg to the other. The water was so calm and so clear you could see the reflection of the ice below. What beauty God displays!!
So I need to run, in the middle of making Greek dinner, but so wanted to share the fun news. I've posted some new pics on Flicker. Hope you enjoy them.
As always, thank you for sharing this with me and allowing me to share this amazingly fun place with you. What a blessing y'all are to me.
Ciao!!!
