Seal, Polar Bear and Blubber Oh MY!!

The girl who will not come within a 100 miles of celery has just had polar bear stew, caribou, arctic char, seal and narwhal muktuk (I may have just butchered that spelling, so I apologize). Today started off with presentations from Pierre, who works at the Eureka Station, and was one of the collaborators of CANDAC, and from Ken, one of the teachers that is up with us. Then after lunch, we went to the school here and had an oppurtunity to meet with the Elders of Resolute and learn from them. Then we had a really nice Elder Tea, where I had the chance to try all the northern foods. The only thing I can safely say I will never eat again is the narwhal blubber. It took like 5 minutes to chew fully, but it was an expierence to say the least. Tomorrow we are going out on the land for the day, and I am looking forward to it. It is just spectacular how people can lead such rich lives with little contact from "southern tools". I think the crew is heading out to play some snow soccer now, and potentially fly a kite, so I will end off here. Love from the snowy arctic!
