sounds of me swearing

Well, it was nice while it lasted. They are coming tomorrow to take the router, an essential part of this connection. They are offering to rent us a $100 router for $60 a week, or sell it to us for $360. Arrrgg. So we are buying a router from the US, but it’ll take at least two weeks to get here.

So it’s back to the clo lounge for my internet activity for a couple weeks.

Camille starts horse back riding lessons tomorrow after school. There is a tree at the equestrian center with four different bird species living in it–some kind of huge herons with nests made of sticks, bright green parrots, some kind of black birds and most amazing: yellow birds that have built hundreds of hanging nests. It’s a marvel. I just quadrupled my life-time bird list.

Meanwhile, where is my mother?

    Zanen – too bad about the connection. One thing about Japan – the connections are okay. And prices have fallen – a lot – recently. Take some photos of the birds – I’d like to see them. I sent an email – do you have the same email address? clay

    Horseback riding! How neat! I took lessons in Chile, when I was in my 20’s. It was really hard on my bottom. A little extra padding might help. Chins up about the connection. You are blazing the trail for those who follow! T.Lana

    Hi Dina & Peter,
    I commend your ongoing patience with regard to getting Internet access. I know many that would lose their minds if forced to go without — myself included. It just goes to show that not only can we survive without such technology, but we can live a quality life without all of it. It’s a pity that so many of us forget this.
    Are there any magazines that you would like to have sent to you? If so, I’d be happy to do so!
    D. Just got the Land’s End catalog. The cover is so cute! Made me think how much you would appreciate it.
    Love your spirit,
    Sheree
