Hi, Ms. Herrmann We were wondering if you had gotten, or will ever get, a chance to ride a dog sled? We also wanted to know if there was any domestic animals there at the station.

     LOVE
  Maddy A., and Semhar

ps. Maddy Nyblade wants to know if you kissed the toe of the statue

Hi Maddy and Semhar,Great to hear from you! No, as far as I know there aren't any domestic
animals at Palmer Station. I haven't ever ridden a dog sled and won't
get to while I'm in Antarctica, but you never know-maybe I'll ride one
in Alaska some day!
Keep in touch!
--Ms. Herrmann
P.S.--Tell Maddy no; I only rubbed the toe. There is some debate about
whether the tradition is to rub or kiss the toe...
