Good news...Bad news
• Good news... first I am back in Edmonton...
• Bad news...FOG in Iqaluit a 4 hour delay in the small twin otter getting out to Kimmirut was to have left at 1015 AM and not until 315 PM and fears I would not make the Edmonton connection 4:30 PM and had Folkfest tickets to Sarah McLaughlin.
• Good news..... spent a morning walking the dog, taking photos and sleeping on a hot rock above the airport
(saves checking hourly ..you either hear the plane or not and/or observe the taxis, first air staff and other traveler return to the airport)... 
Lovely marked pathways 
final look at water lake.. 
was actually quite quiet 
Self portrait attempts 
at park entrance 
cannot always see background objects 
Memorial at airport 
Last glimpses of Kimmirut 
Lovely and sunny in Kimmirut but foggy and cold in iqaluit...spot here near fuel tanks where I often walked with Koda 
Leaving Kimmirut 
A few more passengers on the twin Otter than first trip 
...just me and the cargo. Flight from Kimmirut to Iqaluit • Bad news... I totally missed spending an afternoon with friend Lorne in Iqaluit....
• Good news... made the connection & had 10 minutes in Rankin airport connected with friends that I housesat last summer,
Matt & Cindy Lottes and “baby to be”...she is pregnant in November 
and arrived back in Edmonton with no lost luggage & whale meat still frozen to be picked up by Robert at 10 PM
