Whale Sushi

I haven't been here for 24 hours yet, but I already got to sample maktak. This was part of the retreat I've been a part of today. For those of you who don't know, I'm not a big fan of any fish except halibut. I don't eat sushi, and rarely eat any prepared fish, but I'm "in for a penny, in for a pound" so I did sample a chunk. I'm thinking it's an acquired taste...I hear the pickled version is pretty good. The point is the experience of it all, just gotta join in and see what it's all like.

I was able to see the outside of the house we'll be living in next year (this isn't a picture of it, I just thought you'd like to see a sample of the housing here). Our apartment is on the second floor of a structure and looks out at the water. I have always dreamed of living in a house with a view of the ocean; I just didn't have the Arctic Ocean in mind when I was having those dreams. Note to self: be more specific when dreaming those dreams. Maybe not...how many people can actually claim this view? God really does have quite the sense of humor.
