I'm giving in and doing a blog. Lots of people have asked me about where I am going to live, etc. So I figured this was the easiest way to get all the info out at once.
After living in Phoenix for the past 4 years, I have 2 weeks left of city life. I'm looking forward to leaving the traffice jams and pollution behind. I am moving to Polacca, AZ, on the Hopi Reservation in northern Arizona. The closest supermarket will be an hour away in Winslow. (There are small grocery stores on the res though!) About 7,000 people live in Hopiland. Although the actual "hospital" is small, the health care center is good sized there is a large community of physicians and other health care workers there. And my house is only about 9 years old and quite nice. The pic is the view out of my front door. My house looks just like those across the street.
I'm also going to use this space to update people on my travels. This summer I am taking a vacation and travelling to Vietnam and Cambodia. Then after a meeting in exotic Kansas City, MO, I'm finally going to Alaska for a friend's wedding.
So, over the next few months, I'll post more about where I'm going and what I'm doing. And how I'm adjusting to living in Polacca. And about the Hopi culture and people. It's an amazing culture and has kept a lot of traditions intact, such as the Kachina dances.
