and even more dogs...

this is eleanor. she is a student at uaf and she also works at lars. she loves dog mushing - and right now, she has 60 dogs to feed. on the last picture you can also see the 800 mile long oil pipeline that goes all the way from prudhoe bay down to valdez.

lars

here are some pictures of the large animal research station (lars), where i work. i don´t know how to put it, but for some reason it does not really feel like work. time goes by fast and there are a lot of great people to hang out with.

accomplishment of the day...

...i set up my slackline! then it started to rain and i had to take it down.

well my promise to provide "a picture a day" did not really last very long, did it? anyways, here is what i will be doing this summer: i am working as a tour guide at the large animal research station (lars).


we have muskoxen, caribou and reindeer.

this weekend we also went to the chena hot springs...the water is quite hot but after a while you don't really feel it.

cabin

alright, first off, my new camera and i are not exactly best friends yet, so excuse the poor quality of my pictures. but, i'd like to share with you my new cabin. i rented it for the summer - i think i already enjoy being there. of course, there is no running water!

canoe

today i grabbed the dog, a canoe and some beer and paddled around in a lake. i almost had the dog in the canoe, but she jumped out when it started to shake a little. anyways, she swam next to me.

Ron Paul, der Wolf im Libertärenpelz, wird ja wohl keine große Rolle mehr im Kampf um die US-Präsidentschaft führen. Auf der Uni hier sind die Ron Paul - Aktivisten allerdings sehr fleissig. Die Utensilien habe ich  auf meinem Weg von der Cafeteria zum Hörsaal in die Hand gedrückt bekommen. Auch eine kleine Unterstützungserklärung für Barack Obama liegt dabei. Alaska hält seine Caucuses am kommenden Dienstag, dem "Supertuesday".
