A run with Shuai

I’m thinking about going into tourism. Recreational dog mushing. Not really, but I got a taste of it the other day, when I took Shuai out for a run. Shuai was visiting Alaska during his winter break from NYU. Born and raised in China, this was Shuai’s first visit to Alaska. He was WWOOFing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) at one of our neighbors house, and asked if we would take him for a ride. It was fun to take someone out after a couple of months of working here. Having someone to teach meant I was forced to think about all that I knew and figure out what was important to communicate. I realized that I have learned a lot in these last months, and it was fun to share that knowledge with someone else. The dogs liked him, and we went out when there was still sunlight and we could take pictures. Here are some of the photos:
