Dogs, books and a walk

Another great day showed up today, and included a visit with a new friend and her sled dogs, books from the library to improve our community gardening skills, a walk through a nice waterfront and downtown, news of some booked plane tickets, a tasty meal and some daydreaming of moving to a hamlet 30 minutes from Whitehorse. We see the sun set behind the mountains beside the town, and it is around 8.45. The days already feel a bit longer than they usually do during a Toronto summer.

An interesting observation:

The longest day we have experienced in Toronto:
Date: Jun 21      Sunrise: 5:36 AM     Sunset: 9:03 PM      Length of day: 15h 26m 44s

What we can look forward to in Whitehorse:
Date: Jun 21 Sunrise:4:28 AM  Sunset: 11:37 PM   Length of day: 19h 08m 28s



And what we can look forward to with Tricia and Samantha in Dawson:
Date: July 15     Sunrise: 3:03 AM     Sunset: 12:18 PM    Hours of natural illumination: 22.7

And what LK and JP have to look forward to in Inuvik:
Date: Sep 1        Sunrise: 7:19 AM      Sunset: 10:28 PM       Length of day: 15h 09m 09s


Hope you have seen some nice spring flowers lately! Also, thanks Andrea and Rob for the really nice message. We love you Wallises a lot a lot.

    Now that you’re settling into your new life in the far north, we were afraid that this blog would die a quiet death. We are so happy that that is not the case. We are thrilled to be able to share your new adventures without feeling intrusive.
    Lots of love,
    Bill and Suanne
