Layers, Layers, Layers!!!
21st March, 2008Well it’s been an awesome couple of days. So much to say, and I’m not lying here, no words to describe the experiences I have had over the last two days. I will try my best, here we go. At 6:30 in the morning team Inspire finally gets to touch ground. This was a moment I will remember forever. One because I finally touched the 7th continent and the end of the world, but also, if you know me this will put a smile on your face, its was -6 C, plus with a 25 mph wind chill that makes it -15 C. It’s ok to laugh now… done? Great, moving on! That was a very cool day, pun intended. The e-base was so interesting that I’m thinking about speaking with Robert to maybe do a stay in Antarctica for a month or two at the e-base. We will see. The next day the sun comes out and ill let my pictures paint you guys the view. Words just won’t do it justice. It’s the most unique landscape I have ever seen. You guys have to come down here. Anyway we spend a full day on the Antarctic Peninsula walking and talking and even have a leadership seminar outside. It’s hard to focus on the teacher with the view behind him constantly diverting your attention. The people on the “team inspire” are really interesting people. It’s not very often in life where one gets to spend two whole weeks with very intelligent, like minded, business minded, sensitive leaders. Tomorrow we get to camp outside on Antarctica and from what I understand, they just keep repeating threes words over and over again… Layers, Layers, Layers…!!! I will heed their wisdom. Wish me luck…. Till next time.
Hey Alex! I’m so glad you are having such a great time!! So how did your camp go? brrrr Hope you put on enough layers!! Can’t wait to see all of your pictures and hear yours and Pao’s stories. Keep warm!! :o)

WOW! I am amazed by the pics…but mostly of your ability to experience standing on the bottom of the world! Sounds like you’re really having a remarkable time. We’re anxious to hear all about it on your return. Travel safe and stay warm. Maybe after of night camping out…you might rethink the anticipated month long venture…or maybe not! Cheers - we’re raising a glass to you!

Wow my brother. Just a big WOW. I will stray from speaking of your trip until I can hear it first hand from you. You are very missed around here.
We’ll talk soon. Don’t freeze ‘em off. Be safe Alex.
