This is Mt. Arabus. I am told its a real treat to land on such a clear day because of the time of year here.

Great pics.  Looking forward too more.

GREAT PICS!  BTW, that penquin looks like HE's been to the bar!

 

[mike johnson]

3 bucks at the bar. You can get 1 bottle of liquor,3 bottles of wine or 2 bottles of wine and a 12 pack of beer each week. Anything more than that and you buy it at the bar. I bought a bottle of Southern Comfort for my first week so I couldn't buy any beer.

 

[chestnutbloom]

And a bottle of Miller Lite at the bar down my street is $3.50....lol! Great pics!   

 

[leah elisheva]

Fantastic photos!!!!!

How fun to see where you are, and see the penguin live, (in case he appears on a dinner plate at some point), and it looks so beautiful there!!!

Good to hear that you've landed!

Cheers!!!!! - Leah
