PICTURES AND MAPS:

Were at Yellowknife, it is a little cold out here so I talked with my family and were going to the Prince of Whales Northern Heritage Centre, which was my idea by the way. outside of the centre was a…very interesting building I personally think it’s no cool, since some of it looks like a barn but inside; it was very cool all the cool Inuit’s and lots of old materials from other tribes.

the next day it was a tough decision to go to the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre, but yet again I got paid green to go. the stage was massive and the weird thing was it’s in a school! we watched a show and it was amazing so I had to give the green back, since I liked it; I lost money for my coin collection. next were up to Vancouver and yet again we only spent two days in Yellowknife; were going to spend 3 days in Vancouver it has lots of interesting architecture and fascinating buildings.
