Buenos días, Mountain Zone. This is Vernon Tejas with Team Mileno at the base of Mount Aconcagua. Oh what a day we had today. I don't think that anyone got up much before nine. We just kind of lounged around and sucked up the O2, boy was that fun and then we organized. We are so organized, we even got the Christmas decorations out in hopes that soon Saint Nick will be here. And we had a magnificent dinner prepared by the wonderful, wonderful staff here at Alpine Ascents International with Kelly and Barb, wonderful. And the rice was [unintelligible] I must admit.
With that, we're looking at good weather and did you catch full moon last night? The biggest we have ever seen, wow. And tomorrow we're going to go up, carry up to Camp I, we're going to take all our food and fuel that we're going to need for the duration of our summit attempt.
So stay tuned, we'll talk to you later. Ciao for now from Argentina, from the team [everyone cheers].
