After blowing snow and low visibility yesterday, today was beautiful in Churchill! We saw the sunrise and then we saw a polar bear or two!!!! Many happy people. Then an Arctic fox showed us the way to his napping spot. He napped right near us as we snacked and had lunch. Just before lunch, it was announced the tour company was treating all of us to a one hour helicopter ride over Hudson Bay to look for bears!! I had never been in a helicopter! It was fantastic and we saw several bears. I can't post photos until I get back to my laptop. I had just about written this trip off as a bad dream. Minus 9 degrees at 3 p.m. Back to Winnipeg tomorrow.
Friday------this morning we were told we were all going for a sled dog ride!! What fun that was plus we got to play with the dogs.
