Back "Home" from Pangnirtung (Deb's)

It's pouring on the desert tundra outside Josh's window. But most of today has been brightly sunny with temperature near twenty. Thank you Josh,  for the eclectic mix in our suitcases! This morning we had Arctic char for breakfast, caught last night and proffered by our friend Levi Strauss. You'll see his family's summer camp spot where he caught this delicious fish on these photos..... with the campfire, and little white tent off to the side, belonging to Josh who I 

think is very much enjoying being part of this family. The river that you see is, at this very spot, joining the bay, so subject to tides, and when the tide is going out, Susan collects drinking water from the shore. If she were to do the same at the inward tide, they'd be drinking salt! These pictures were taken at 11:00 in the evening..... When we wake at 2:00 or 3:00 am, as we invariably and unintentionally do, it is full sunlight. I don't find it is changing my sleeping habits at all.

Here's a funny by-the-way that next-door-neighbour Peter told us at dinner last night. Iqaluit, spelled properly means place of many fish. With the stubborn U that wants "in" - it means place of dirty bums/toosches..... 

More later! Keep coming - sorry this took so long!
