Finally made it through January - what a long month! The last week at work was the week from h_ _ _ . Exhausting. Temperature has been on the cool side (-20's) with a cold north wind and yes, still more snow. Sunrise at 9:10 AM, sunset at 5:18 PM. Just over 8 hours of daylight now and getting longer every day!
The Yukon Quest (longest international sled dog race in the world)starts from Whitehorse on Sunday, February 13th - and yes, cousin Frank is running once again. Here's a link to the Quest website if you are interested:
http://www.yukonquest.org/servlet/viewnewslist. I'll try to keep you informed on how they are doing. As well (esp for family) here is Frank's kennel's website: http://www.muktuk.com/Home/overview_e.php (looks like you will have to copy and past these addresses as they don't look like links to me).
News from Central America (or should I say the Pacific Ocean, as Shaun was on the ship when I last spoke to him on Thursday night). His 2 friends have now left, but apparently, there are always people on that ship. Currently his Uncle Paul and his wife, along with a handful of other people, are travelling with him north up the coast of Costa Rica. He spent a couple of days on Tortuga Island playing, is golfing, snorkelling, jet skiing and travelling, sometimes on water, sometimes on land. He (& his father) drove across to the Caribbean side visiting a monkey sanctuary and volcano along the way. He is hoping to attend a 3-day kitesurfing school soon. And is hoping to have his website running soon - when he does, I will pass that on to you.
