Days 1,2

I had some technical difficulties this was my blog from a couple nights ago.

Well I arrived in Yellowknife last night, been super busy since then, as you can see it took me two days to get a chance two write in. Yesterday was a blast, flying from Toronto to Calgary then up to Yellowknife the day went by pretty fast. I know there's probably some people back home that have been waiting for this message and I'm sorry once again it took this long but time has flown by but hello to you all. Yesterday we got in town around 3pm (which is 2hours behind eastern time) got my room and then went out to the town for a hour or so before we gathered and got our gear. For those who have never scene arctic it is bigger then anything imaginable, for good reasons, no way I'm freezing up there. It's been great, all the new friends and teachers are super nice and it's making it very easy to have fun. After we went to have supper we had the chance to go see the northern lights which were remarkable, although it did cut into some sleeping time, it was worth it. At first there was not too much to see but as the night went on at about 1am they finally came out for good. This was really superb and nothing like I've ever scene before. It was a great end to a long day being up for almost 20h straight.

Day two had an early start. We had a jammed packed day full of activities and presentations prepared by the CANDAC members to help ease in the transition and answer many questions about the program. We also had during that period two very interesting guest speakers come talk to us about architecture and ice roads, both were very intriguing. Then after a day inside we hit the town for some super and some intense bowling, it was epic.

As the time moves along were all getting to know each other more and more and getting much more comfortable, tomorrow morning we're heading off to Resolute where many adventures await...
