Finally getting a bit comforable

Almost a week after Amanda left for India, I'm finally starting to feel comfortable. I've have even finished cleaning my little corner in Amanda's apartment where I was stashing all my stuff and been able to cook some really good food for myself.

Grassroots: A Fair Trade Store
I have also acquired a job. I now work at a little hippie store near the Anchorage REI store on an almost full-time basis. It's a cut in pay from my last job, but the concept of the store is great and it's a good way to fill my time while I'm here in Anchorage figuring out what to do next. Here's a picture of it snowing outside the store. Trust me, it is snowing.



and a picture of the map of all the places where producers are making our merchandise.



Planning the next big adventure
Another thing I've been working on is my next travels.

I'll be meeting Amanda in Germany in February, but before that, I'll be headed to California to see my family and hang out with Rowan while he's in the states. It should be good. There are no really details as of yet, but I'm hoping that things will all pan out by about mid-December.

I'm also hoping that things will work out with a job that has just been announced here in Anchorage. It's a job as an Environmental Education Coordinator. It would be an awesome job with great benefits! We shall see what happens.
