Hi Friends, here's a belated report about my fun fun spring break in Alaska visiting Bridget.
Bridget's been living and working near/in Denali National Park since the year 2004. She and her boyfriend are in the process of buying a cabin and are already the proud owners of about 18 sled doggies!!!
What does this mean for me, dear readers? Sled dog fun! Not only did I get to see my BFF, but I got to learn to mush in Alaska for spring break. Best spring break ever.
We saw the start of the Iditarod, Bridget taught me to much for a day, and then we took 2 trips that lasted 2 days each.
Here are some photos for your enjoyment!

Oh, and by the way...I got the job with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome!!! That means you can await more international blogging!
Hugs,
Lauren
