Ice River and a Wedding
The river broke yesterday. All the ice that was piling up broke out to the ocean. There was also a wedding two little flower girls in traditional clothes, they were very cute. Others are from the church, gorgeous artwork on the walls and the antler candle holders I loved.

Home
Well I am home again, most of the snow is gone. Soon the river will be broken up and the water will push the ice. They have said when the ice is being pushed down it makes loud noises, they say the river sings, I can't wait. This weekend we will walk over to see the river and take pictures. When I flew over from Yellowknife the sights out the window were breath taking. We followed the coppermine river all the way to Kugluktuk. I could see the brown muddy water flowing south, till it was stuck behind the froozen river. I could see the blue froozen water of the ocean. the water comes ontop of the ice and it changes color. I will be flying over to Cabridge Bay in a few weeks and I can't wait to see Victoria Island. From there I will be going to Kugaaruk and it is suppose to be very beautiful when all the snow melts. It is colder over there so in a few weeks it should warm up. Well I hope to post some pictures after the weekend.
