Back in the "World"

The train was only nine and a half hours late this time... That means I spent almost two whole days (and nights) (not that those are very long this far north) looking out the window. Once in Winnipeg I was slightly amazed to see so many cars zooming about and to hear so much mechanical noise. None of that in Churchill. Today I will wander around a bit in my chunky hiking boots and wearing all the clothes that don't fit in my suitcase. Given that it is quite warm here today I will rather stand out. Then it's off to the airport, to Chicago and from there to Baltimore where I'm looking forward to being reunited with my husband, one daughter and my washing machine. Photos from the train ride will go up later... but I really enjoyed my conversations with a Cree Nurse (a First Nation group), a student at the University of Winnipeg who is engaged to my zodiac boat driver (small world!) and a Belgian couple.
