Hello Earth,

Today crew members waked up very early and we saw an incredible sun, the weather was perfect. Celeste and Orson are in charge of today's cooking so they made chocolate for the breakfast, spaghettis for the dinner and they are making the lunch. Marcos and Luis are in charge of today's cleaning.

Today was an active day too. Orson received a training for the ATV and repair some instruments for the EVAs like the walkie talkies and tanks of oxygen. Nolvert and I had our first EVA at the afternoon from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm, the objective was collect soil of two different places. After our EVA, Orson teach us how to use the ATV. Celeste and Luis received the same training for use the ATV too. I think all of us are very good drivers.
