We have arrived!!

After a two and a half hour scenic flight through the snow covered mountains, we arrived in our new hometown of Whitehorse, Yukon. The mountains around us are beautiful; and the air is so crisp and clear! My friend Dylan met us at the airport and once our bags and Cortez were collected we made our way to our new (temporary) home; the High Country Inn. We got ourselves sorted and then headed out for a tour of the town. We drove to all four courners of Whitehorse, the local ski resort Mt. Sima and then to the hotsprings. We checked out the local recreation centre which is absoultely amazing! For dinner we ate the deck, a local pub which is conveniently located downstairs. We enjoyed some grub, took Cortez for a walk to the Yukon River, and then passed out from pure exhaustion (after waiting to see what time the sun would actually set-FYI it was 10pm).
Today we both started our new jobs and everything went quite well. It was a lot to take in but I am sure that we will be in the swing of things in no time. We had dinner at the local sushi restaurant which was delicious but CRAZY expensive!! We went for a little walk with the dog and are now getting ready for bed. We are going on an Aurora Borealis tour on Saturday from 10pm-3am to see the Northern Lights. We are going to be heading ourside of the city and hanging out in a big heated tepee from what I'm told. We are looking forward to it and will post pictures! Will try to write again soon! We will post pictures soon, our internet connection is really bad and is taking too long to upload them now!
