October 12, 2009

We arrived in Gjoa Haven late on Friday evening. Once again the hotel is full so we are living in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment. It is a real luxury this time since not only do we have beds and furniture, but there is also an extra bathroom. The kitchen is large and Damon has been cooking up a storm for everyone. Our Thanksgiving dinner consisted of a ham, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Delicious!

Most of our team is sick with a cold or sinus infection. The weather has been cold and windy and progress is slowing down as a result. We hope to be home by the weekend.

Apparently grizzlies do come this far north.
