We have our first home!!We are so excited. It is really a great place. We went on the marathon let's find a place to live expedition when we arrived. 13 places in one day and what the experience. AK rents are high but what they get for places that look like rats might run out is amazing--quite the cultural eye opener. There are some bad neighboorhoods in Anchorage. One place we visited the door was locked. The neighboor saw us and when we told her that the owner had said that the door would be open she said oh and went inside her adjoining place--suddenly we heard a drill. She opened the front door by unscrewing it from the inside. We stood there in shock--she said that they had problems with vagrants. All this could have been ours for $75o a month!
But we found a condo that the owner had lived in so it is full of all kinds of ammenities--including a cat door. Titana can come back to AK! So we are moved in and really loving our new kitchen. We don't have a table yet or a guest bed but are really looking forward to having Sheri come and visit in March. We had friends over the other night for dinner and to brew a batch of ale.
