Couldn't Help Myself!

Yes, here I am with the Grade 8s and 10s in Qaqortaq,Greenland. What a day.............the weather went up to 20degrees C. We don't know the last time they saw these temperatures as the last 2 cruises couldn't even make it into anchor. The water was VERY calm............

So much information to share and so many great pics.......will try and get some more on tomorrow but had to share this one.

Had lunch in the teacher's lounge........the teacher in the picture and the Principal (Lars from Denmark) provided lunch. I had rice and Greenlandic Lamb (YUM) and Rob had pickled herring on dark bread. DAD......Rob says there's is as good as yours.....
Everyone was so nice.......the kids are great, as always and they were so glad we came to visit. The kids speak English, Greenlandic and Danish. I spoke to them for about 45 minutes......giving them information about Canada and my school and other things. Wait until I send pictures of their playground and surrounding area.

After we left the school, we staying in town and visited with the people......everyone was out and because there was so much going on in town for the cruise people, they closed the school. They couldn't get the kids to come back to school after lunch anyway.

Am exhausted tonight........on our way to Halifax........back to Canada.

Today was definitely a highlight............
