Almost done and gone!

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Counting down the days to our departure. 11 more to go. There is one little part missing for GreenGo, and its tires need replacing, but we are really hopeful we’ll be on our way on the 15th.

In the meantime, all I can do is tend to the aesthetics, so under my command, and with Surik’s help, GreenGo is getting some embellishments!
