I can't tell you what day of the week or month this is since I haven't been keeping track. It is late evening and we are just above the Arctic Circle (for the second time) at the town dock of Itilleq. We have been within a few miles of here and in fact Erik kayaked here a few days ago. The kids who swarm over the boat have gone and the sled dogs are beginning to quiet down. It just sounds like some dogs on some distant islands are still howling.

I'm glad we stopped in this town because it felt a bit rude to be in their neighborhood for a couple of days and not stop in.
