Getting ready

Only one more week before we fly to Santiago. Yeah! DeDe is already organized for packing - Pop Pop isn't quite there yet.

Surprise of all surprises though - it's likely colder here than it will be in Antarctica when we get there. They do have minus 100 degrees in the winter, but it is now their summer, and we expect temperatures near 30 degrees (F).

This morning, I had to boil two pitchers of water to unfreeze the water to the mini-ponies' watering trough. When I came in, my fingers were really cold. I think the temperature was near 15 (F).

Southern hemisphere, here we come.
