Polar Bear Sighting and Crepes

My cab driver claims he saw a polar bear hanging out on the frozen Artic Ocean down the street from my house....SUPER excited and maybe a little nervous about that! Ready to begin my second day here in the dental office followed by a party at one of the cardiologist's house. The theme is "Crepes on the Tundra...without the French attitude." Definitely one of the more random theme parties I have been invited to. Word is that he makes people take shots of tequila and eat crepes under a big tent. Promises to be interesting.
I never made it to see the guy about the dogs last night. I ran into some middle school kids on their first day of summer vacation. They spent all day building a bike park for their mountain bikes out of snow. It was awesome. I hung around and watched them ride for awhile. They were really friendly and asked the funniest questions. And, just for the record, they made fun of me because I was wearing 4 layers, ski hat, gloves, and hiking boots while they simply had on shorts and a t-shirt. Classic tourist.
