Making History!!
This’ll just be a quickie entry (probably) but we had a historical event happen today. The C-17 (the really big plane we fly in on) broke once it got to McMurdo. Therefore, it had to spend the night last night! It’s actually going to be here for a few days while they get a replacement part. It’s the first time the plane has overnighted here. It’s interesting, because even though the flight crew flies here often, it’s the first time they’ve come to the station itself. Also, since they usually just fly back to Christchurch, none of the crew had overnight bags. Sooooo they were all in the store, buying up a storm today. Yay for shopping!!
Hopefully the plane will be fixed by the weekend, maybe sooner. Either way, it’s a first! Even though it’s not exactly a positive one.
Also, a shout out to my friend Kish, who is not here this season, but is rockin the States right now. Kish, WE MISS YOU!! (the sound at Gallaghers sucked last weekend!!) Plus we miss your smiling face! (I hate being the only one who smiles all the time now!)
