Greenland, part 2

So, on to Monday. We went 'Thule Tripping' with Sgt Spires (who's wife lived in Liverpool, NY), Susan (the services woman for Thule), Larry, Steve (the chef of the TOW club who made us vegan and vegetarian EVERYTHING), and a few others. We got to walk on the ice cap (we made snow angels and Kaleena built a snowman), and saw a waterfall. It was so windy and cloudy that day, probably below 30 with the windchill, and rainy. So yeah, cold day. But we saw so many amazing things that day.



Tuesday, we had our last show. But more importantly, we did this:

POLAR BEAR SWIM! Twice for everyone, Jon made it in 5 times. We're kind of awesome.

For the sake of time (as I'm in the Syracuse airport waiting for our flight to Philly that will then take us to Frankfurt), I will quickly round up the next couple of days. We were able to go into the air control tower, watch a NASA plane land, ride in a fire truck, see the mechanical generator for the base, see the satellites and radar and control rooms of every building there, and even an old missile launch from the Cold War, and so much more. I don't think I could correctly put everything I saw that week in writing, but it was by far one of the most exciting and exhilarating trips I have ever been on. The wildlife, the scenery, the weather... unbelievable.

So, thanks Greenland, for the great times.

Onward to Germany!
