If you're going to try curling, why not try is somewhere unique! Out the door of the ice sheet building was the Arctic Ocean. A stones slide away were lots of us...learning how to get some mass moving! Thanks to the patience and wisdom of local curling legend Scott, we got some good lessons! We learned about palm up, palm down, sweeping, and throwing the rock into the house! Not that we're experts, but we sure enjoyed some learning!
After some practice, Team Gustavus took on Team Barrow in a fine round of curling. They must have been nice to use...and didn't beat us by a HUGE margin. But more importantly, we had a great time, and developed an interest in a pretty neat game! The setting wasn't bad, either. But as Rachel, Justin and I could likely tell you, it is a bit chilly on the toes curling in Barrow!
Check out the concentration here as Justin sets up his throw.
Steve was a go-getter. Something about gravity might apply to this picture. Don't worry...he was OKAY!
What a blast! But I don't think I'll make this my day job just yet!
