I'm here!

So I arrived in Ulukhaktok today and man is it ever beautiful.  I went for my first walk and took some photos of the the local sled dogs.  They are adorable.  And then there's me...being me.  After I did this I realized that I should have done a series of me doing a 'happy' dance, but this works- haha.  I also discovered that  I'm going to need to triple my long johns since I couldn't stay out longer than 15min; it is -22 today with 76% humidity! Feels like at least -30.

I was able to drop off my suitcase of 'tools' at the arts center when I got here.   Seeing all of the supplies that I ordered in one place made me so happy, as did seeing all the AMAZING hand-spun yarn that the ladies have spun since their spinning workshop a couple of weeks ago.  They are obviously a talented bunch.  I'll share pictures of the hand-spun next week when I begin teaching.

One of the sled dogs.  So precious.  He looks mean in this picture but seemed to be the friendliest of the bunch and rarely wore this scowl.  I just wanted to cuddle him, but of course I didn't.
