Sarah Palin, our very famous Governor who was the vice-president elect, came over with her husband, her baby and one young daughter to chat with Martin Buser.
She digged my accent and got her assistant to take a pic of us, she said 'we love English people!'
I even managed to tape their convo...
Martin is my fav dude musher as he just seems like a cool legit guy. He is a four-time champion, and holds the record in 8 days, 22 hours, 46 minutes. He's been a top 10 finisher 18 times. Wow. The work that goes into this is just amazing.
He's pretty hardcore with such fancy gear...
Here's one of his beautiful dogs.
Here's me and DeeDee Jonrowe, she is an awesome lady who wears makeup during her whole trip! She is quite the crowd fav and super friendly. She came second in 1993 and 1998 and is pretty much a complete badass representing the ladies (I think most Alaskans are more impressed with my DeeDee pic than with Sarah Palin). She is a breast cancer survivor and started the 2003 race 3 weeks after finishing chemotherapy. What a women!

Wow, great photos. Not a big SP fan, but have to note that she and her husband are a very attractive set of grandparents!!!
Love all your pics, I'll be back!
Such great pictures, wish I were there, it looks like so much fun! Kinda neat with Sarah, but I give a great big high-five to Dee Dee!! What a woman!

Amy,
Great adventure! I second Ina's plug for the makeup & moisturizers by Janet. Ina gave me the link and I've ordered. Good stuff, lipsticks are the BEST!
Thanks for the up close and personal on the Idid.
Hugs,
