Today outside of Brugsen (the largest grocery store in town), I was delighted to find a Greenlandic woman selling papercutting silhouette art in the local sell/swap area. I took home the piece below for 50 Danish Kroner-- about 9 USD. It's a bit rough, but I like her style. She had a large variety of additional work in her backpack that she pulled out to show me after I made my purchase-- unfortunately, I forgot my camera today.
I'm now back in Nuuk after a final month of work in Afghanistan. It's good to be back, and in the last week I've been skiing--straight out the front door-- four times. Pretty amazing. More on that later. For now, a short post.

In other interesting news, both major grocery stores in downtown Nuuk were completely out of eggs today. A definite blow to my evening baking plans.
