Hi to All
I arrived at Churchill Canada on June 20. The flight was amazing. I always meet interesting people. The guy I sat with on the plane has been on 65 cruises. The flight attendant was so nice on the flight from Winnipeg to Churchill. She fed us every hour. We were lucky to be right on time. Once landing in Churchill we were greeted by the state insect (the mosquito). A gravel road led us to the research site. We walked through a maze of rooms in the center. I am not sure I will find my way to my dorm room tonight. I have 4 roomies that will help me fine the way.
Nice group of teachers which is going to make this an exciting week.
Day 2
Up at 6:00. We learned about sampling trees. The whorls are the branches around the tree. Each set of whorls represents one year of tree growth. We have a series of items we are looking for when evaluating the trees. We just returned from being in the drizzle, wind, and cold analyzing 20 trees. We are only half done and will continue tomorrow. Now I know why I became a junior high teacher and not a researcher.
Well signing off for today. Stay tuned and learn what adventure awaits at Churchill.
