Ladies Weekend at Black Island

Like Chris, I was also fortunate enough to have a boondoggle (morale trip) to Black Island for a weekend. Except, I'd have to say mine was 10 billion times better because it ultimately turned into an all girls weekend! Yay! After spending the past 5 months with mostly middle aged men (there are about 23% women at McMurdo) I had a great time with Morgan, Christine, and Gina at Black Island.  And yes, we did paint our toenails and read Vogue. Chris already told you a bit about Black Island in his post "An Antarctic Retreat" so I'm just going to post some pictures of beautiful Black Island.
