Canada Day... part 3!

After spending a few hours at home getting WARM....I got my long johns out, and new long john top... and put them on.. and headed out for the Community Feast/BBQ.... there was bbq hot dogs, and hamburgers.... Some hunters came back from being on the land and brought seal, duck and duck eggs.... I had fun getting to know some more people and it just felt really good to be part of the community! A Lady had made Bannok(traditional bread that sometimes is deep fried--soooo YUMMY)...and on the outside of her box she made this wonderful sign... made me giggle.... (i WISH it was fat free....)

A look of the Bannok inside........... it went FAST! I'm glad I got a piece of that goodness!!!

So I was able to eat some 'country' food...I had some Seal--raw--SOOOO GOOD (I'm serious!!!) reminded me of oysters...but also the texture of some sushi I've had... but it was yummy, I also had some duck egg(hard boiled) it was really 'rich and creamy' compared to chicken eggs....Below is a photo of me eating some duck that was boiled up in a pot! (it tasted yummy too... I know I look like i don't like it...but I was squinting bc of the sun...!)

after the food there was a few more games... another dice game...(this time you rolled two die and if you got a 'double' you were OUT...i lasted quite some time in that round) and the other game involved putting a golf ball into the hole...(YES golf is a game that is EVEN here.. i'll do a post about that sometime!!!)

So there you have it... that was my Canada Day in the Arctic---it was AMAZING day.. I met some fun people.. and had a great day!! (hope yours was as good as mine!!)
