Visit to Scott Base for Dinner

The season is winding down. Minky whales are around. The tanker has left port. My mind is looking ahead to life beyond this cold white place.

Still supposed to get training on this thing...only 2 more weeks here though. Hmmm.

A lovely outing to Scott Base. It happened to be Scottish night, so it was extra special.

Bagpipes!

Haggis. Blech - not my favorite.

Fresh everything! A little bland for my taste, but still yummy!

The view from the dining room. Ahhh.


Money from all over the world on a wall at Scott Base. They also have gorgeous posters of New Zealand decorating their tidy little station. 67 people are living there right now. Apparently their rooms are like little space pods - tiny.

The station manager was a riot. Innuendo abounded, as you can imagine from what he was wearing. They are a fun lot!

Who works who and who works under who this Austral summer in McMurdo. I am way down towards the bottom :)

Scott is going to kill me, but this just makes me laugh.
