Part 4 - Churchill
Our second day in Churchill was spent on a Tundra Buggy seeing things we've never seen before. Of course, the main attraction is the polar bear. We were able to see several throughout the day. John lent me a lens for my camera that made my day. I would've never been able to get the pictures I got with my own equipment. Cory and I had a juggling act going on the whole day as well. We either had Elinor or a heavy camera to hold for the eight hours we spent on the Buggy. It was all worth it though. I've never experienced such barren, yet fascinating terrain and enjoyed shooting wildlife as much as I did that day.
Part 3 - Churchill
The first day we spent with Lisa-Joy on a driving tour of the Churchill area. We took in sights such as Miss Piggy (plane crash in 1979), dog yards (so weird), the Ithica (a ship that was grounded in 1961 when it was damaged in a storm), the Prince of Wales fort across the Churchill River that was built in the early 1700s and some various prime establishments in town.

Part 1 - Our Churchill Adventure
This past week we spent a couple of days with John & Lisa-Joy Gunter and their son Mekhi in Churchill, MB. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how different things are up there! I took so many pictures I don't know how I'll only post a few, so here's a start to our Churchill adventure.
...and a BIG thanks to the Gunters for hosting us and enlarging our perspectives on our very own province!
