Day 8 to the Southpole

In true Friday fashion, Mom didn’t wake me up until way too late because she thought I looked too sweet while I was sleeping. That’s the downside of traveling with your mother. I’ve reluctantly deleted the alarm app on my phone, so I wake up when Mom wakes up from her “inner polar-explorer clock,” as she calls it.

I got a perfectly tempered double cappuccino in my sleeping bag — no lack of luxury here — before we set off across the white plains.

Happy Friday!
