Customs Dog and Mennonite Missionaries

I didn't plan to write another post because we're flying back to Seattle later today. However, two funny/interesting things happened that I shall write about since I have time before we can check in.

Yesterday at the Nuuk airport I experienced a first. The first time I was sniffed by a dog at customs. The customs guy took the dog on several sniffing tours of the waiting room to find ... was it drugs? Explosives? Or as Doug asked -- what's the most valuable export? Fish! Just joking, of course. It was one of the first two. Nothing found.

This is the customs guy. The dog is on a leash and off the pic to the right. When I'm trying to take a surreptitious photo it doesn't always turn out the way I hope.

Today as we wait in the airport in Keflavik, we spotted this group of Mennonites.


I talked to them, of course. They were very friendly. A Martin family from Wisconsin. I told them that at one time I had relatives (Mennonite) near Steven's Point. They aren't from there. They are on their way to Copenhagen where their church is establishing a mission. They'll live there at least the next three months.

So here our trip ends, more-or-less. We will spend a few days with my dear family in Seattle before driving home later this week. We'll go from 30 degree weather (Greenland) to 50-60 degree weather (Iceland) to 100 degree weather (at home.) It will be an adjustment.
