We left Palmer Station aboard the Laurence M. Gould and spent 4 days at sea — watching movies, reading books, and adjusting to the rolling sea.  The trip across the Drake Passage seemed to go much quicker than on the way south.  Once back in Punta Arenas it was nice to see the statue of Magellan once again in the Plaza de Armas, eat a “hamburgesa completa” at Lomit’s, and have a hot chocolate at Chocolatta.

After a few more days, and several plane flights, I was home again.  It is great to be home, and to be able to reflect back on the great experience I had at Palmer Station.

I hope you enjoyed this blog, and learned a few things about life at Palmer Station, Antarctica.  Stay tuned for the next trip…
