Winnipeg Arrival

I made it to Winnipeg. This evening we had an introductory meeting during which we met our guide, Derek, and all of the participants on our voyage. Because we are spending our nights in the Tundra Buggy Lodge, we have the benefit of looking for bears during sunrise and sunset. The cool thing about polar bears is that their hair is actually translucent, meaning they take on whatever color the sun makes the sky at the time. The other colorful treat will hopefully see is the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. We leave early tomorrow morning, so I am going to settle in for the night.
