A Message from Meg {part 2}

Here's to our last full day up north with the Dene people in their community in Saskatchewan.  Here's to the friends that we've made with each other in the house, to tickle fights and giggle-fests, and inside jokes by the dozen.  Here's to the people in Fond-du-lac who have welcomed us with open arms and shown us their culture, welcomed us into their homes, their lives, their school, their church, and showed us every aspect of their life.  We are so lucky to have been given this opportunity, this experience, and these friends.  A great marsi cho to our hosts and to my housemates.  I will miss our breakfasts, late night conversations and all of the laughs we've shared at Haily's Lodge.  Though part one of our adventure is over, part two is just around the corner! We are all so excited for our twins to come to london so that they can see how we live.

Today was a lot of fun at Culture Camp! I ate Caribou brain and tongue.  I never ever believed that I would be able to say that.  It was pretty good too!  And yesterday, we scaled, gutted , and fileted fish!! I know I had scales all in my hair, and all over my clothes.  We all smelled of fish.  Later we played soccer, and the guys and Natalie played really well. I was forced to play for one shift, and yes I did connect with the ball at least four times!!

Today we sewed little purses in the library of the school, and Ms. Day gave helpful hints to Ahmed and I while sewing.  In fact, she saved me many cuts! It has been such fun hanging out with everyone, and though I look forward to the adventures I know we will have in the various planes and with the jokes that will happen, I am very sad to say goodbye to Fond-du-lac and all the people we have met.  London, we shall see you soon!!!
