Happy Birthday Bryony…

Today the team reports a relaxing layover day with wind buffeting the tent, and
a birthday celebration to commemorate BB”s 21st birthday (on December 21 – her
“golden” birthday!) BB was very happy to receive all the messages from home, and
Lisa and Oskar”s tent was converted into a mini party hall complete with
balloons! We hope to post some pictures soon.

Layover days offer a chance
for the body and mind to rest and recuperate. On days like today, with winds
blasting the tent, it feels especially cozy in a sleeping bag, and the knowledge
that you  have to get out, or break camp, or move at all, is absolutely
wonderful. There”s nothing better than a good sleep in when most mornings are a
race to break camp!

Here”s the birthday girl skiing
a couple days ago.

“Diamond Wedding” of Dennis” in laws.

Make sure to
listen to BB”s audio update and check back again tomorrow for another update
from the team!

Happy Birthday Bryony! We hope this is the first of many
very exotic birthday celebrations in the years to come!
