Sunday in Charlotte...

...is a quiet kind of day. Took the opportunity to sleep in on the last day before classes start. Then the roomies and I hit up a Bike Re-Psych, a neat program for high school students to get experience working with and restoring bikes. They built a bunch of bikes for some of the students in our program. We kind of saw the sun today...and by kind of I mean it got a bit lighter outside midday.  Here's the evidence :)

The lovely strait between Graham and Moresby Islands.

The bottom (north end) of our street, 6th St. Which is referred to by everyone who actually lives here as Hippie Hill.

People are really unenthused about official road names here. Which makes it super awkward for the 22 newbies who just arrived in town with only street addresses for their homes.

Classes start tomorrow. We're still waiting on about half the students who drove up and are stuck in Port Hardy, waiting for the ferries to start running again after the last couple days of storms. It sounds like they'll make it up tonight but, in case anyone was planning to drive up this way in the winter...DON'T. Classes are in Skidegate, which is just east of Charlotte, down the highway. We're going to be in the new Haida Cultural Centre which is supposed to be breathtaking.

And that's all for now folks!
