back in Nunavut

Arrived in Kugaaruk yesterday after a 2-day trip from Toronto, by way of Edmonton, Yellowknife, Cambridge Bay, Goa Haven. This community is a little bigger than Kimmirut where I was before, on Bafffin Island, but essentially it is the same. This place has lots of hills around it as Kimmirut does, and I look forward to going on some hikes in the near future. I'm glad I didn't take a job in Goa Haven however as it appeared to be almost flat for kilometers around. My roomate is to arrive either today or tomorrow, and I won't really settle in until we get together to decide who goes where, etc. I've been able to connect by way of a wireless set up in the school, although it seems a little slow, so I may not be able to send too many pictures. I've included two, this posting: one on the tarmac at Yellowknife airport, and one showing my new home (not the best shot perhaps).
