The end of the road

Well, I am back in Christchurch, NZ, in the hotel SO (which, as all who have stayed here can attest, is like living in an ipod). I'm leaving for Sydney tomorrow, but have been here for three days, which was the perfect amount of time to rest and recuperate, and work on my return to the real world. My first day was really hard, but its getting easier and easier to be around so many people and so much stuff. Darkness, green, and the smells of nature and all the different colors and things around are all still novel and exciting. The humidity however, is not.

Antarctica was incredible. It is truly a part of my soul and changed my life in so many ways. I don't know when I'll get back there again, but I have experienced so much in my six months of work there (not to mention my week vacation there over a year ago) that I know I have had the experiences of a lifetime.

I am going on vacation for about two months. Since its not an ice adventure, I will be writing about it on my second blog (wow I am becoming quite the blogger these days) sarahstravelsandadventures.blogspot.com
