Back in the states, chicago at the moment. it's a long trip, but i don't mind too much this time around as i desperately need some decompression time. it's been a jam packed month - absolutely incredible, but also very little down time. that - as you might imagine - was most challenging from me. coming from living alone in a small cabin outside Fairbanks - to spending 24 hrs a time confined on a ship with 85 people. but it was a very international group (staff and passengers), it was refreshing to have my world so radically expanded. i really enjoyed some of the passengers.... in particular an older couple from south africa i wanted to adopt as grandparents and take home with me, and a small group of egyptians that i just spent the day with in Buenos Aires. the older folks in general were particularly inspiring - not the types to stay home and watch game shows, these guys were climbing hills, sledding down snow slopes on their bums, loading zodiacs in big swells..
I'll post more photos after i'm home in a few days.
Louie, the french historian, best zodiac driver, and everyone's favorite lecturer. I was really lucky to work with a really great and fun group of staff.
