Thursday 2/5/15
The tourist market officially begun and away went all my money! The Sami sell many of their handicrafts (duodji). I purchased a variety including knives, carved cups and jewelry :) Many Sami wear their traditional gakti or clothing, which are often colorful and hand made.
Thursday and the rest of the week was filled with yummy traditional food, saunas and many other events. Our group attended the reindeer races on a frozen lake and cheered on our fellow gustie as she competed. She didn't fall off and even won!
At dinner time there must have been some oil on the burner when Hannah was cooking because the kitchen at the gun club filled with smoke almost in an instant and the fire alarm went off! Now, the pistol club is attached to a hospital and the hospital's alarm went off too! Thankfully a fire man came quickly and we cleared up the confusion. We still don't let Hannah live it down that she set the alarm off and I have a picture so we never forget!
Also one night some students decided to rearrange the lounge area of the club….here is there chair tower. Sidney, Lindsey and Ruby.

Erin cooked up cloud berry sauce over ice cream. Cloud berries are extremely rare and delicious! Our group got some as a present from a Swedish friend.
Reindeer!
