First day in CDE

Curt picked us at our hotel @ about 7:45am, Mon 5th Dec. to take us to the Centre of Distance Education (CDE)! We went around meeting everyone in the Centre. They are so excited about our visit & are so friendly!! We had a brief question and answer session in their conference room which was quite interesting! We also were given a gift pack each with all the winter goodies you can think of!!They all wanted to know how we were coping with the weather!! We are coping alright!! Is a lot warmer today compared to yesterday. Sun's temperature was -35F which is about -37C. Its gone up to -8F(-22C). After the meeting we took a scenic drive around the main University of Alaska campus. CDE is located about 10 minutes away from UA & we got to see some reindeers !!!
Then its back to CDE for a bit of email & lunch. More later!!!
