I love this life

On Friday evening, as I was taking a walk towards the river, I met one of the guides and the other handler training the guide's dogs with the ATV. They stopped next to me and offered me to jump in. And so did I! I ended up doing twice 5 km on the back board of the ATV behind the two guys, pulled by 10 dogs. We trained the dogs in the darkness, using only the ATV's lights. The night was cold, minus one, and beautiful. There was a clear sky and I had never seen so many stars in my life. It was a magical evening and I remembered my boring evenings in London where life after work would be heading back home, have dinner and watch TV. Being out with the dogs, even by minus one degree celcius was so much more fulfilling. I love this lifestyle.
