I woke up early this morning to go to the Sacramento International Airport, where I met Kim Williams Schouten and Aidan Fong. Kim is a teacher at the Leonardo da Vinci School in Sacramento, and this is her second expedition with 2041. Her student Aidan is the youngest member of the expedition -- he's only twelve years old! KCRA News came to the airport and interviewed me and Aidan before we left for our flight. Kim, Aidan, and I flew through LA and Miami before reaching Buenos Aires, which has really hot weather (I only packed long-sleeved shirts). Buenos Aires is a really nice city, and I wish I knew more Spanish. Later in the day, we met another "expeditioner," Randi Caplan. We went out to dinner with her to an authentic Argentinian restaurant called La Brigada and had a really great time. Tomorrow morning, we leave for Ushuaia, where the expedition begins! I can't wait to meet the rest of the participants!
