As we began to settle in we started to explore the community a bit more and enjoyed seeing the different types of houses and especially the 'arctic twilight' view over the bay.
As we got closer to Christmas there were several houses that were even decorated with Christmas lights. One particular house was decked out from top to bottom with even the dog houses and car decorated.
We even saw a bunch of kids playing hockey outside on the street one day when it was well below -40 with the windchill and we couldn't even understand how they managed to keep playing in such cold weather (but I guess when you're running around it helps to keep you warm). Even Tetue has adapted to the weather and doesn't mind going out for short walks now. I suppose we too will begin to adapt and won't mind the cold so much anymore (although I do have to admit that touching cold metal doorknobs with bare hands is still extremely painful)!
