Arrival

Cold.  Dark.  Sleet. Those were the weather conditions upon arrival today.  Except for the darkness, it didn't change much throughout the day.  Rain wasn't continuous but it was ever a threat; there's a strong wind and some rain out right now (8:06pm local time--the blog stays on Pacific Time).

Unlike last year's, this year's hotel gave a room right away even though we were hours before check-in time.  We both needed a couple hours of rest.

Here are a few pictures from the last couple days' events:

Not a nice place, it was full of dicks!  :-)

Saw the aurora on the flight over.  It wasn't very bright but it was extensive!  I thought the plane would tip over when everyone started moving to the left side to take a look!

Hop-on-Hop-off bus tour of the city tomorrow.
