Flag of Greenland  , Vestgrønland,
Friday, September 19, 2008

48hrs of severe vestibular system harassment and 2 multiangular sleeping nights later...the Ruby sedated, and breakfast was being served once again without tables and plates flying across the rooms. The captain came on, for his morning announcement, and after divulging facts about the previous night's wave magnitudes (12m!!), reanimated everyone with spectacular views of icebergs and dolphins. We were sailing peacefully through the Cape Farewell Passage.

I have no words for those 24hrs...but I do have pictures :)...so fill in the gaps as desired. All I can say is:

Dear Mighty Guy in the Sky,
When I die, please please PLEEEEASE send me to chill and fly above the sky of Greenland

Sincerely Yours,
Me.

We arrived to Qaqortoq early morning...my 21st birthday :) Talk about astonishing gifts!! This little sea town, completely dependent on Denmark for all it's resources, sat there, basking in the autumn sun. We met some locals and were shown around...local fish markets, typical houses, seal hunting and cloth making. My wildest dreams couldn't devise such pulchritude. A village surrounded by miles and miles of solid ice, entirely functional, entirely familiar, entirely mesmerizing.
