The flight from Calgary to Ottawa was pretty uneventful. When I arrived in Ottawa I was at the carousel to find my luggage next to the Chief Justice of the SCC. When my luggage came I went to find out where the Holiday Inn Express was located. They had a phone line and I was told that I did not have a reservation there. It turned out that my reservation was in Edmonton but they did have a room in Ottawa and would pick me up. It was very warm in Ottawa and the hotel was very hot in the hallway. After I had been there a short time there was a power failure. Later I was able to print out my boarding pass for Monday.
Upon arriving at the airport Monday morning everything worked well and I arrived in Iqaluit about noon. It was nice (about 10 C and not raining). Vincent was late arriving but gave me a ride to the prosecutors' apartment. Apparently I will be having a roommate on Wednesday, a prosecutor from Halifax.
I went and bought some groceries - always an eye-opener because of the price.
Then I took a look in the museum and from there a look at the Bay. The tide was really out.
Linda Kimball, a court reporter from Calgary is here this week and we went for dinner tonight at the Frobisher. It is always interesting there as people come through to sell their broaches, carvings, earrings and prints. We did not buy anything but saw some nice things. We walked there and back. Now it is about 10pm and still light out but I have the light on to do this.
I am flicking through the TV channels while I do this. What slim pickings!!! I finished my book on the way up but there are a couple of books here and I brought a couple more with me.
I brought up some herbs for a couple of people in the office and they seemed pleased. Jeremy made me a loaf of rye sourdough bread with cranberries and sunflower seeds.
Tomorrow I am going swimming at noon with one of the prosecutors who goes every day. It will be interesting. So my exercise routine begins.
