A Few Things

There are a few things we have been asked a lot lately, the first being "Have we seen the caribou yet?".  The answer is no, not yet.  Apparently they actually don't come around here until later on, more like the end of February or beginning of March.  Not December as the parks guy told us last fall.  Yeah, I know, we thought he would have been a reliable source too.  We have been waiting patiently and I know many of you have too, waiting for pictures but there was just nothing.  Not even tracks anywhere.  We have learned in the past week that we still have more waiting to do,  so again I'll let you know.
The other question is "How did it feel to go out?"  Yes, it had been three months since we were anywhere but in this area, and probably close to 2 months since we had been in a vehicle and had to deal with traffic.  I'll admit to you, Paul did not do well, he wanted to be back here by the 2nd day, he didn't enjoy the shopping and running around that we had to do in various towns or cities along the way and on our way back home again.  It felt very strange to be in a vehicle, can you picture not being in one for that kind of time period?  We did though very much enjoy seeing our family and friends, even though we did miss seeing some. 
We simply can't believe our time here is pretty much half over now, it is flying by.  I know our time will be up before we know it, then what? you ask.  Paul and I have to learn how to deal with the outside world again.  I've been told that the transition back will not be so fun or easy to slide into.  But we'll think about that later, until then we keep on doing what we are now, and lovin it.
