How cold is too cold?

I wish that I had taken a picture at the Inuvik airport because they too, like Yellowknife and Norman Wells, have a stuffed bear (polar) at the airport. Is this some sort of northern thing? I've never seen a stuffed animal at an airport before and they ALL have them here. Weird-I'll snap a picture on my way out.

So I finally arrived on Thursday. We were scheduled to arrive around 1:00 and didn't make it up until after 3:00. I was actually just glad to finally land up here. It was not too cold when I arrived. Only about -16 celcius. The nurse that I'm subletting from, Paul, picked me up at the airport. He took some time to show me the major things around town (which I was very thankful for) and we went to home hardware to have a new key cut. I had a $5.00 bagel (are you serious!) at the Cafe Gallery and then came back to my new home until April.

The Hospital in the Morning
I settled in that night and then I went out on Friday to check out the downtown and get some groceries. The hospital is about a five minute walk from my house. I have to duck under the utilidoor (where all the water and sewage lines run above ground) to get there-it's nice to be so close!

The Silver thing is the Utilidoor. The houses are colourful!
