"One hundred years from now, as people look back on
our use of this continent, we shall not be praised for our
reckless use of its oil, nor the loss of our forests;
we shall be heartily damned for all these things.
But we may take comfort in the knowledge that we
shall certainly be thanked for the national parks."

~Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, 1931

Prep time!

Anne and I have been doing some preparation amidst school. We're getting our various vacinations and double checking geear and packing lists and other. We'll be departing from Boston (along with Kristen G. '06) on December 7 and will arrive in Santiago, Chile on December 8th. We'll be staying there with Pnut '05, who has been in Chile for the past months teaching English. On the 10th, Anne and I depart for Punta Arenas in Patagonia, way in the south of Chile.

We depart Punta Arenas on December 29th and arrive back in the US (me in DC, she in New England) on December 30th.

All postings are in Hanover-Time. Continental Chilean time is one hour ahead of that (so, 01:00 Eastern Time USA is 02:00 Chilean Time)
