Nick here again. Finally have the time to update the site. Sunday morning started with the departure of group one for their earlier flight.

Dr. Neidlinger began by calling the airline and ( Read more... )

I got Nick to let me back on here because I wanted everyone to know what a great day this one was. After breakfast, we loaded the buses around 10:30 am. The first thing we did was ( Read more... )
