Sun!!!

This Friday was a day that people here in Barrow have looked forward to for a long time.  THE SUN CAME BACK!!!  After about two months with the sun refusing to show its face above the horizon it finally rose on Friday.  I lucked out and didn't have a class during the time it was up.  So, another teacher and I took a walk to enjoy the sight.  It's amazing how quickly it comes back.  Today we had two hours of daylight.  It's amazing how much difference a little bit of sunlight can make.  I have to admit that it would have been a little nicer if I didn't have to spend five minutes dressing in all my outdoor clothes to do it.  Even so, it was great to spend some time out in the light.
