Marathon Man
As some of you know Geoff ran the marathon here last month.... here are some pics from the race. Geoff did very well finishing in a little over 4 hours..... running on snow and ice. Ann and I volunteered so that we would get to ride around the course, cheer on the races and goof off.
Hope you all enjoy the pictures. This is an awfully beautiful place, but we are ready for warm weather. One more month and we will be on our way to Tonga.

Cheers....
This weekend we were invited to have dinner at Scott Base, the New Zealand (Kiwi) base over the hill from us. It is always a treat to head over there for dinner.....compared to McMurdo, Scott Base serves gourmet fare. Here is a picture of me (I am the short one) and some friends toasting to a night of good food and time with friends.

Ob Hill Up Hill
Christmas morning Geoff rolled out of bed nice and early to participate in the Ob Hill Up Hill. Crazy man. The name of the race says it all. This year Geoff placed third (with a hangover). At the end of the race the participants hung around for a few pictures and some enjoyed hot cocoa. With in 30 minutes from the start Geoff was back to the room to rejoin me in our nice warm and cozy bed. Yeah I am a slacker.
