The pictures, I must say, drew me to the site, but I have enjoyed reading it as well. I am looking into moving to Alaska after I graduate nursing school (about 2 years from now), and a friend told me about Kotzebue. I have enjoyed everything I have researched so far! I am definately excited for the time to come! <BR/>I did have to comment on this particular post because, well, I live in Des Moines! When I first moved here, I moved downtown - about 2 blocks north of where this picture was taken! I will have to admit, seeing beauty downtown takes some imagination! Iowa itself can be extremely beautiful - I just have no idea how to use a camera well enough to show you!<BR/>Thanks for the pics and the info!job5.18https://www.blogger.com/profile/11198930152516613071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384835463263616272.post-9808761812273044212007-10-16T16:51:00.000-08:002007-10-16T16:51:00.000-08:00I'd be interested to know all the stuff coffeedog ...I'd be interested to know all the stuff coffeedog wants to know, too.

I really like the black and white ...Beautiful pics. I really like the black and white one with the cross. But all of them evoke that sense of remoteness that is rural Alaska (is there anything but? Well, I guess if you live in Anchorage...) <BR/>I have some questions though, about your life, that maybe you could address on different blog days if you feel like sharing. I'm interested to know how you came to be an Alaskan when you started out in New Hampshire - that must be an interesting life journey. I'm interested to know what your son's school is like in Kotzebue - mixed grades, single grades, native speaking, etc. I'm a public school teacher, and I have a relative who teaches in an immersion school in Bethel, so I'm curious as to what your school is like. I'm also curious as to your job - I know from reading your previous blogs you travel some, and I see what you are taking for clasess, so I wonder what that adds up to as a profession for you. What you do, what it encompasses during each day, etc. And, last but not least at the moment, is wondering about your dog. How or why did you decide to get that particular KIND of dog - you obviously didn't just pick her up at the local pound. Did you choose that breed for a reason, and then look for a breeder, or what? Again, these are all just questions I have that you can post on, or ignore if you'd rather not. No big deal.
