Some more pictures

---

We finally got out and took some pictures of the wobbly roads. They built ON the BOG and disrupted the permafrost. It’s a really weird experience driving on these roads, the pictures really don't do it justice. It feels a lot like you are driving on a roller coaster. Like that kids elephant ride at the PNE. We can’t believe that the road has sunk so much in places and the concrete doesn’t crack, it just bends down and sinks into the ground.

Oh and I got some pictures of a couple of guys working on building a house too. It's incredible how they build around here. Have a look at the picture. Its great. There’s a picture of Dakotah in front of one of the $700,000 houses in this subdivision. There is some really great, original, kind of weird architecture here. Dakotah really likes the round house.

Talitha and I went to a Retro Dance Party at one of the local clubs here on Friday night. It was a fundraiser for one of the ecological non-profit organizations here in Yellowknife. We had a blast dancing the night away. The greatest moment was when they played Cindy Lopper (I don’t know how to spell her name) and the whole place emptied on to the dance floor. There were some really great costumes. Oh, that brought back the memories of leg warmers, wall bangs, sideways pony tails, neon, high tops, …(that’s 80’s) Those were the days.

Rock- chip some away-build on the rest
There's Dakotah standing in front of one of the $700,000 plus houses in one of the new subdivisions in Yellowknife

Dakotah's 1st Parka
Yes it is Huge but it is really cool. Real fur around the face and cuffs... and there's little polar bears sewn on it.

Building on Bedrock
Look how they lined up the wood in the crack of the rock.

The Round House.
I like the wooden pathway in the front yard here.

Pete Bog Doesn't make good road foundation
I guess it was good until the permafros melted out under it

Talitha's helping us with a PUZZLE
I wanted to put this up for Pete's benefit. I hear Talitha's dad likes puzzles... Ha.

that road looks like fun
How cool is that. Do you get sick going for a drive on those roads?
