October 7th

Started off the day by walking aimlessly around Christchurch for hours, just to see what the town is all about. We had to pick up all of our issued Antarctica clothing. They call it ECW which stands for extreme cold weather. It was kind of fun trying on the big red down jacket I see in all of the Antarctica pictures. I felt pretty cool. After we tried on all of the clothes to make sure it fit, we were told the flight for tomorrow was canceled. So tomorrow and I get to spend the entire day sightseeing around Christchurch. Pretty exciting. This evening, Jason and I walked to the closest grocery store and bought food to cook up tonight and tomorrow night. We went for veggie stir fry and an assortment of fruits.
