mmm, whale


Saturday June 7th
Today was absolutely the most boring day ever. But tonight was one of the most hilarious. We didn’t really have anything to work on so we mostly had the day off.  We went to the airport, and bought some souvniers for people, and then came back to base camp and did nothing again. Tonight was a ton of fun though. We had a Greenlandic dinner and spent the evening playing old Greenlandic games.  I actually tried whale! It doesn’t taste bad, however it was the concistency of rubber.  They also had salmon and little shrimp. After we ate a little we played some of the most interesting games… I’ll definitely have to show people once I get home! Haha.

yep, that's whale

 But I never would’ve imagined how much I would like some of the people here. They’re hilarious and we always just have a blast. I literally snort constantly, my laugh has turned into a short laugh and then tons of snorts.  It’s pretty emburrusing. And the real problem is that once I start snorting, I think it’s funny, so then I laugh harder and well… it’s a vicious cycle.  But tonight, I can’t even remember what was so funny, but Rikke, Fie, and I were literally crying laughing. 



Aggu is definitely someone I'm gonna miss


And I'll miss group awesome like crazy <3

Needless to say, it was a good night. It weird to think that in just five days I’ll be leaving this place I’ve been living for the last two weeks and in all honestly, I’ll probably never see many of the people I’ve met ever again, which is a sad thought because I’ve made a lot of really good friends. But I try not to think about it and just enjoy the time that I have here. But I can’t wait to come home and see everybody, and I’m actually looking forward to the Arizona heat! Maybe my fingers and toes won’t be so frozen all the time!
Much love,
Sydney
