We have internet at our house!!! Sorta. . .

Well, after a month-long battle with the phone company, we are signed up for 3G internet service and are good to go. . . mas o menos.  There have been a couple of snags already, mostly that the signal that we can get at our house is rather finicky.  We know that it is possible to get really good fast internet with what we have here, because we have done it at least twice here today messing around,  but unfortunetly it is a little less then reliable.  We have some more equipment comming in to hopefully fix that.  The other little problem is that my computer doesn't see to want to play nice with the internet, so once again I am stuck making this little blog post from a friends computer.

This is not like back stateside, where you can just call up any one of  a dozen different companies and have your service hooked up by next week.  We really only have one option, because of the area in which we live.  Getting to the point that we are at required 4 trips to the city, and collectivly almost 10 hours of waiting in line and dealing with the company.  But at least we are on our way.

So if you are waiting to see the pictures and video that I have, sorry again.  I just wanted to let you all know that we are working on it.
