Breaking News!!!!!!

Icebergs near Little Reindeer Valley
Last minute update!!  I will be leaving in the morning for a two week kayak expedition with Kayak North, a small touring operation here in Upernavik.  They had a cancellation for their Reindeer Valley trip and I have been invited, expenses paid.  Lucky me!!  From their home page there is a link to a Spot Tracker which will be mapping our whereabouts for the next 14 days.  I will return on July 17 if the weather is good enough to land the helicopter.  Tomorrow we head north to Kuvdlorssuaq where we organize kayaks and gear.  WOW.  I am so blessed.  I'll be filming and taking pics til my batteries run out, and taking lots of written notes and doing some painting- along with plenty of paddling and hiking.  Sad to say I will not be able to blog til my return.  I will miss you all but will be absorbing the silence and raw wild of the real Greenland- a very rare opportunity.  Bon Voyage!!

  1. I am so excited for you! (and a little envious too) You worked so hard to get there and now it is becoming more than you ever could have imagined. I will be thinking of you and sending you love on this incredible journey! I love that there is a tracking link so that we can all live vicariously through you on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Can't wait to hear about the trip when you return! xoxo

  2. Hi Rebecca! How amazing that you are off on a kayak adventure! I can't wait to see the photos. I hear there are lots of pregnant teens in Upernavik; maybe they need someone to come train midwives? :-) I just sent you a letter by snailmail; maybe it is my only chance to send mail to Greenland! Enjoy and be safe!
