Summary Title: Discovery of two new locations for the experiments.

Mission Status: Going great, half way through

Sol Activity Summary:
We woke up at 8:00 AM and had pancakes for breakfast. Antoine, Joanna and Marie then got ready for an EVA. They headed towards Somerville Overview. Once at Compass Rock they had some difficulty finding the route but eventually managed. They loved the view from there but unfortunately the location is too far for Joanna’s experiment. They then headed back with a little stress as the battery of Rover Opportunity dropped very quickly all of a sudden. However they managed to return with both rovers. The crew had a rice salad with chicken for lunch along with tomatoes from the GreenHab. Matias also discovered that an animal (Martian) is eating the GreenHab plants. In the afternoon, Antoine and Matias went on an EVA towards North Ridge and Kissing Camel Ridge West. They headed out on foot to test the range of the walkie-talkies. Despite some communication issues, everything went well and they really enjoyed the view. For the evening, we have planned a little burger night with games, and tomorrow is a rest day for Easter.

Look Ahead Plan:
Tomorrow we are celebrating Easter so we have decided not to work for the day.

Anomalies in work:
The space groundhog eating our vegetables.

Weather:
The weather was really nice today.

Crew Physical Status:
Everyone is doing well.

EVA:
Both EVAs went well! We had a great day today.
