It's been a yeaar since I moved WAAAAYYYY up north to Yellowknife. And it's been an interesting year. I flew back to Vancouver 4 times and drove down to Edmonton once. I've experienced weather that I would not have been able to truly fathom coming from a mild climate like Vancouver. I really didn't enjoy the dip below -40 last week or the problems I'm currently having with my car, but it's been an overall good experience.
I learned a new game this year - broomball. No, it's not played with brooms, but I'm sure it started out with brooms instead of sticks. Whenever we actually get spectators perhaps I'll be able to post some pics.
Although I've had one visitor - she lives in Resolute Bay so it doesn't really count - I've yet to see any southern folks up this way. It makes for an interesting road trip. I wouldn't want to come here in the winter either, except the Northern Lights and dog sledding are real treats during the colder times. I'm going dog sledding in a couple weeks.
So, that is my one year in Yellowknife update. Oh, and I'm going to Cuba in January!! Yippeee! Somewhere warm!!!
