There is access to email, it is promised by our hosts, but the experience of adventuring in this Arctic region does not suggest intense communication with the regular world.

I shall dream, take note of the unusual, be in wonder, and gain inner quiet to allow the creativity needed for the upcoming months of ethnographic and qualitative research -- more in warm regions with Hispanic peoples in Western and Southwester regions of the U.S., perhaps with a trip to Quito, Ecuador -- to be born, acknowledged, grow, and flourish.
