So we have been spending a lot of time fishing lately, a group of us would go to the sea to try our luck, I would get much too bored and go for a swim, in the incredibly cold water! Then out class went to the Alta river, which is quite famous for its abundance of salmon. Actually in the grocery stores here salmon and other fish are by far the cheapest meat.. when I come home that is all i'll want to eat (hint to jenna and mom). So we fly fished in the river. It was really fun, we camped all day on this rock bar in the middle of the river. We had gorgeous weather!! Unfortunately none of our whole class caught anything, but our teacher being prepared for this brought some that he'd caught earlier in the season.
Over this past weekend a group of rented a small cabin in the middle of the woods. Nine of us fit in this tiny shack. And we ate pretty much what we found, we fetched a bunch of mushrooms and blueberry's and found a bag of rice in the cabin so they made mushroom rice goo ( which of course i didn't eat) then blueberry rice pudding.. which was surprisingly tasty. This cabin was 25 km away, with a beautiful view winding the coast.
Yesterday our class went boating in the Alta fjord with traditional wooden row boats. In my boat there were 2 other girls, one czech, one german. I pretty much stuck to rowing while the other two fished. Us 3 caught 10 fish, my job was once they were caught i got to kill the fish. It was so awesome. We made a fire later and i got to fillet everyone's fish! We ate and sat around the fire till past midnight, then had to walk an hour back home. Needless to say we were nearly all late for our marketing class the next morning and smelled like fish.
