Panorama

I've figured out how to use the Panorama setting on Nicole's camera! Yay! 

 View from the top of Pond Inlet, onto the old/original part of town. 

 On the other side of the community, looking out again to Bylot Island. The sound is about 20 km wide, hard to believe! It looks so close!

The mountain dead centre was named after the Inuktitut syllabic ᐃ (pronounced "i")

Pond Inlet has provided me with beautiful landscapes to admire daily. It has also provided evidence to back Disney's statement, "it's a small world after all":

• Meggie, my coworker and friend from Dalhousie, is/(was?) designing a waster water treatment program for Pond Inlet for her Engineering Design project. How ironic that that is where I was placed?
• We had a visit tonight from a childhood friend of Rebekah. He is a pilot stationed in Yellowknife but was contracted out to survey parts of Nunavut. The two of them hadn't seen each other for eight years and just happened to both be in Pond Inlet, of all places, at the same time. 
• The scientist on the surveying job had actually spent some time at my host family's place over the years and housesat for them for one summer
• When I mentioned I was from Windsor, and my host family had actually lived there before they moved up to Nunavut. 
• I also mentioned a visit with my uncle's neice over christmas break who used to teach in Pond Inlet and the photo albums came out. My host family found Debbie in multiple pictures!

It's a small world: In the centre back row is my host, Dave, 

standing to the right of my uncle's niece  Debbie.  

(Bet you can pass this photo on to Debbie!)

Pat was also looking through old books, when she found what she remembers is apparently the best bannock recipe. I.T.S. for Girls! camping trip may need to test this out!
