Nuuk, Greenland

Hello from Nuuk! I decided that whoever names these countries is obviously crazy. What's so green about Greenland? Really? And Iceland. ICELAND, for goodness sake. I saw a VOLCANO IN ICELAND!!!! Stupid country namer.

I decided to go diving in Greenland. I think the only green I am going to see is the algae growing on old shipwrecks that I will hopefully get to see. People have gone down and came up telling stories of seeing different shipwrecks. I didn't need to waste time and money on diving lessons, as I already knew how. I dove right in and guess what? I saw a shipwreck! It was super cool, like an oversized fishtank ship.

I decided I wanted to try something new, and I found it: Trophy Hunting. And no, it isn't a game where someone hides trophies and says find them. I mean shooting down reindeer and oxen. I went out with a teacher, and attempted to kill a reindeer. On the first shot, I didn't hit him, and it took me to the 5th shot to finally nail him. Killing him made me realize that I hated hunting. I took off super fast after that.

I decided to spend the rest of my time in the hotel. It is very hard to drill out the picture of a dying animal that YOU killed. I felt terrible for the rest of my stay, and went to bed sad. I had a horrible nightmare of the reindeer picking up a gun and shooting ME. How terrible.
