Greenland Day 3: some hiking in the rain

It rains most of the night, but the sleeping is still good. We get a late start - the argument is "what's the point in starting early?" but G is awake early anyway. Still, J lets him out of the fence and he can go sit and drink coffee in the group tent and not make a nuisance out of himself. ;-)

Good breakfast, a bit of a rest, some sitting around, lunch, more sitting around, and then a hike since it's not raining all that much any more. We head up the valley with the idea of checking out the glacier. The glacier is gone, but the lake which is left is absolutely stunning. Yay! We're in Greenland! We do plenty of recon along the way and then walk back ot camp. Read some, dinner, sitting around, then off to bed.

It rained off and on all day, never really hard, and it's not cold or windy, but it isn't really conducive to serious mountaineering. Let's see what happens tomorrow. We have ideas for cool stuff to do ranging from alpin hikinge to actual mountaineering. The weather and conditions just have to play along!
