Yesterday was a quiet day, because almost everybody needed a day to sleep thanksgiving off, take a Sunday tour of Cape Evans, or in some cases just work from town, for a change of scenery. Again, I was too busy coding (and being really sleepy) to take any pictures, so I figure I’ll give Thanksgiving my attentions for today.<\/p>\n
Photographic credit for this goes completely to Matt, who tirelessly photodocuments large (or at random times not-so-large) social occasions. You should check out his whole flickr set<\/a>, from which I’ve cherry-picked. In fact, check out all of his pictures, if you haven’t been following them.<\/p>\n In the morning was the Turkey Trot 5km race, which I’m told is not uncommon for American Thanksgiving festivities. Elio and Mark competed; Mark finished 8th, and a disappointing 2nd in the over-40 age group. Elio finished an even-more-disappointing later-than-Mark. He blames the hills. Elio doesn’t like hills. (These photos are from anonymous contributors to the local “I:\\ Drive” shared storage.) Tristan and I decided to build an appetite by cycling again.<\/p>\n After a thoroughly enjoyable dinner, many of us went to Gallagher’s for more drinks, intense foosball, and live entertainment. The highlight was Condition Fun, a group that performs songs about the vehicles of Antarctica. Tragically, they didn’t have CDs available. Matt and I were prepared to shell out some serious dough.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
