On the 13th day, sunny but a little windy Thursday, Hans had a
teleconference with his ESA technology transfer center in Noordwijk,
and we gave greetings and showed our breakfast. Hans wanted to keep
the apple cinnamon bread to show them as a surprise at the end, so a
few crew members were frustrated for waiting to eat it. In the
morning, all crew members climbed up the hill near the Hab, and walked
to the Mesa which is comparably close. We enjoyed the hiking. We had a
late and quick lunch, tortilla. Then, preparation for Habitability
Debriefing was my task but filming something interesting was for the
others task in this afternoon. I was participated in it late in the
evening. We took some funny photos, videos and artistic one too. I
suggested to use Safety Light Sticks that I brought for emergency and
artistic purpose, and it was a testing phase. I hope we can make
better shots tomorrow. Dinner was dehydrated instant black beans and
rice by Matt. I asked “Did you add something?” Volker said “Of course,
he add love”. It was a delicious cow boy food, as Hans said. After the
dinner, Habitability Debriefing is scheduled for tonight. It was a
very nice day.
