Our place in Igloolik



Hello Everyone!
sorry it took so long to start posting some images. We have been so busy adapting to life in the arctic but with the Thanksgiving weekend upon us, we have some time to create our blog.

We arrived in Igloolik to discover that our living quarters were actually a lot better than we had expected. We live in row housing, sharing a building that has 5 units. We live on the end unit and have a side entrance while others have a front entrance.

On the side of the house, there is a connection for sewage. Every second day, a truck arrives and pumps the crap out of our place. Soon after, another truck comes and fills up the water tank. Everything is located above ground since the tundra is frozen year round. It is imperative that you are upwind when the pooptruck arrives!

Hi there,

Just read your blog.

Thanks for the free plug for Don Kennedy Construction. Maybe Dad can work when we come up to visit.

Just had a turkey dinner at Memere and Pepere's. Had one yesterday at Dan and Andrea's too. Both were really good.

Keep us posted.

Love,
Mom
