From Olympia, WA

Ethan about to graduate from The Evergreen State College in rainy Olympia, WA

Sarita and I are back in the USA. After five months of travel we are taking it easy and figuring out our next steps. Maybe a slideshow tour around the northwest.

I'm spending my time doing physical things, starting a garden, walking in the woods, surfing. I'm still processing what I experienced during the trip. In South America, I was exposed to the dismal outcome of a global, free market economy, outcomes like poverty and oppression. In spite of the dismal circumstances I was inspired by so many people working to create a better model, a better world. Now I'm trying to figure out how to integrate my experiences into my future work.

Thanks to everyone who has shown us so much support.
