Goodbye, Palmer Station

February 5th,  2011
After a wild and crazy night, our ship left the dock this morning at 10:00.

Last night, the Palmer Station band played 28 songs and we had a big Mexican dinner fiesta. Everyone talked about what they were able to accomplish over the month. 

We woke up this morning and made sure that everything was on the ship and out of the
station buildings and then said our goodbyes to the people we had been living with for the last month. After spending a month with such a small group we had grown pretty close with a lot of the people living on station.


Since we do not have any plans to come back, it was hard to get so close to people and then leave knowing that we would probably not see any of them ever again.  And then on the bright side, we knew we were getting one step closer to our families back home, which made everything okay.
