**This is our new home. Isn't it beautiful?**
Yesterday, Lindsay and I were on our way to find our dream jobs but we couldn't find anywhere to print out our resumes!! The Internet was down in the whole town and there was no other way of getting them printed. So, for the morning we just walked around and looked at places where we thought we would like to apply. There are some really nice shops around here. In the afternoon our landlord Kaylee picked us up from the hostel. We got settled in here, it's SO nice to be able to unpack our things and not worry about having to pack them up in a few days. We have a nice big closet that looks VERY empty with our few belongings in it. The room is just 2 single beds and a closet. It's pretty empty, but so much nicer than having to share a room with 4-10 people. I tried to go for a walk out back, but the forest is SO dense that you can't walk 5 feet in! Plus I'm afraid of snakes and spiders which are definitely back there. We made a stir fry for dinner (again) and watched 'Lord of the rings' before bed.

Today We were up and out the door to go job shopping. Lindsay got a pretty promising offer from a little deli called 'Citrus'. She's worried because she has to make sandwiches for people and judging by the one she made for herself today that completely fell apart... well, I know she can do it! I was getting pretty frustrated at first, but I may have a job at a little artsy store called 'Lalo Treasures' The guy that I talked to when I went in told me that it was his last day, so I immediately called the owner and asked for the job. He drove out to meet me and I think the whole thing is set up once I give him my Tax number tomorrow. I don't want to get too excited though, I'm not even sure how many hours it's going to be. We spent the rest of the afternoon looking for new work clothes for Lindsay and then we celebrated our success by sitting by the beach for a while. We're back home & who knows what we're going to do tonight.
