After the Polaris Project folks landed in Chicago we wandered through the airport leaving members off at different gates to make it to their final destinations. The Seattle folks got a little extra time together with a two and a half hour delay on top of a planned four hour layover. (Max and Kayla made good use of the time)
I made it back to my home in Bellingham a mere 32 hours after waking up in Moscow and in time to make breakfast for my kids.
All of the field course participants face the challenge of describing our experiences to our friends and family and adjusting to life back in the USA. Congrats to all on a job well done and thanks to all following our trip. We’ll be tidying up some loose ends over the next few weeks and expect to see some good science and outreach on the blog again soon.

October 7, 2015 at 5:30 pmHello everyone. I’m from Russia (from Moscow ) (So, I am rlelay sorry for my not fluent English) I can say that there’s nothing to be with all our traffic jams in the downtown, as one of has said Moscow raods are intergreated within old architecture The only think I suppose would help it dercrease using private transport for useless purposes. One more thing. We have too many accidents (that cause congestions) and it happens because of careless drivers who come from the Caucasus. They simply ignore all the regulations. Just in fron of my house there is a large shopping centre and there are a lot of route taxis (if you know what I mean) There are 5 lanes and during the day time they occupy 3 of them, waithing for the passengers. The worst thing is that the police officers who are not far from tis place simply ignores everything. Everything is paid for everything. So, I’m (as well as the other Russians) are very pessimistic about our traffic future. The authorities like speaking but not solving. when they drive anywhere the roads in both directions are blocked.I’m sorry for the mistakes, but I DO hope you’ve got my idea.
