It seems about the right time to start a new thread as we have now turned East to Endeavour.
Hope no one minds... -------------------- -- Robin

Concepción was interesting enough that we could have "eaten the lotus" there and stayed a long time. However we had our Odysseus (Squyres?) to force us back on to the path to Ithaca (as Rui used to call Endeavour). It will be difficult for any other potential stop to match Concepción in interest.
