Alive

-13 and overcast in Tsiigehtchic today.
Sunrise at 10:39 and Sunset at 17:37.
53 more minutes than my last blog!  We are complaining about the heat up here!

I arrived in Tsiigehtchic alive and well on February 04, 2011.

I found the right house in the dark and got the key to the trailer apartment.
The trailer I had originally thought could possibly be The Wellness Centre was the Elders Home.

I got my groceries and suitcases into the apartment late Friday night in the dark.
I had no phone or internet for the weekend!

I have been cleaning and cleaning.
Boys are so dirty!  The rubber seal around the fridge.  It needs help to get clean sometimes.

I will not sear your mind the picture of the grate next to the stove.
It has a thousand breakfasts in it.  I am not sure for how long but it has been way too long!

The stink valve froze and there was a bit of a smell in the trailer.
It was quickly and wonderfully remedied Monday morning.

I unplugged the bathroom sink with a chopstick. 
Another mental picture of goo you can live without.

The most fun was the tour of the city with the Northern Store owner.

You can see the mountains the Mad Trapper crossed in the distance.  I got the key to The Wellness Centre on Monday.  I could use the phone but did not have the password to the computer.  There was some confusion around the exact address of the trailer and further home internet service was delayed.  I got internet today February 09, 2011.  How long was that offline?  Wahh!

Here is my Magic Bus.  The first two doors are The Wellness Centre and the last door is to the apartment.
I can't close the screen doors so they creak in the wind a little through the night. 

The apartment has a second door with a little porch at the back.  Ahhh so cute!!!

This is the view from the apartment window.  The Tsiigehtchic sign is there in the larger view. 
They jokingly call the town, "Little Hollywood" because of the sign on the hill.
