Often people are disappointed
that their flights are delayed. This was definitely not the case
for
us. We
had the opportunity to visit Qarmartalik School on our extra day in
Resolute. We thank principal Brian Manning and the staff and
students of Qarmartalik School for the wonderful day we spent with them.

During our time in Resolute
Bay, Tobias tried to learn some of the Inuktitut language. Mostly
we succeeded in learning how to translate everyone's name. (Note:
Sonia and Jacques are Richard B.'s children.)
