We arrived in Winnipeg today - from Philadelphia, through Minneapolis. It's a nice small city - we got to walk around a bit this afternoon. It gets dark here around 4:30, so not a whole lot of time. Tomorrow, we'll have the day to see the city more. There's a better posting and some photos to post, but they'll have to wait until Tuesday probably since we only have the lobby computer to use here and can't upload the full posting and photos from here. We hopefully will have easier internet access once we arrive in Churchill on Tuesday.
By the way - we leave Winnipeg on Tuesday morning for the 2 1/2 hour flight north to Churchill - a town of about 700 residents that has no road access. On the shores of Hudson Bay, though, it makes it a prime polar bear viewing location as the bears wait for the bay to freeze. As it's actually been fairly warm up there (in the 20-30's) the bay has not started to freeze, which is good for us - means more bears that haven't headed north yet for the winter feeding season.
More details to follow - stay tuned!!
