Ai (Inuktitut for "Hi") Here we are again totally enjoying ourselves in The Arctic!
Our first adventure today was a preschool workshop in the Elder Centre - what a great group of people of all ages! We sang, danced and played together! What fun!
In Inuit culture the babies are carried around in a coat that is called an "Amoutik" pronounced "a-mouty" - they are a little pouch that sits right on the adults back deep inside the beautiful warm coat - it makes sooo much sense. These are photos of Naja Jane with her friend.
This Middle School is different again from the Elementary one - very colourful and pretty looking...its sits atop a hill overlooking Frobisher Bay.
After our Big Top show we met up with one of the breakdancers from the Circus Show the night before! They are going to be coming to Igloolik too!

Here she is again - so comfy and cozy!
The schools in Iqaluit look very different from the ones we see in 
Southern Ontario - this school is the elementary school right in downtown Iqaluit - note that it does NOT have any windows...

When we played our afternoon show under "The Big Top" - this was our backdrop on stage - they are sunglasses that the locals wear in the winter because the sun and snow are sooooo bright! It keeps them protected!

Here we are doing the bunny hop at the lookout overlooking the raging river at the end of Iqaluit lane. This place is 
FULL of surprises.
FULL of surprises.Assunai (Goodbye in Inuktitut) - see you tomorrow!
