  Our great day in Resolute - March 10

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.

We may have more laptops here than in the rest of Resolute

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.)
