The Good, the Bad and the Just Plain Amazing

Today we were the first group to go ashore. That meant a very early wake up call. After last night’s game of cut throat Uno, we were dragging a bit. Now that it does not get dark at all, it’s harder to stay on any kind of normal schedule. The weather is back to overcast and it has been snowing all morning. But still it's an amazing adventure.
Last night, there was a whale sighting from the ship.
Our big excitement for today is that we have arranged through our favorite ornithologist for our group to be served cheeseburgers and french fries for lunch. Regular, beef cheeseburgers. I have to confess, the food is not the highlight of the trip. We are served reindeer and smoked fish in some shape or form for every meal. Vegetables are few and far between.
