INTERMISSION

Updates will be intermittent for the next few days, more than they already are, while we settle in and wait for the phone guy to hook us up. And yeah, in the meantime I’ll work on taking some more pictures. I admit I’ve been slacking in that department, but nothing too interesting has been happening these last few days, unless you count dropping the landlord’s old couch off at the “Refuse Tip” while the kids play a challenging game of I Spy at the dump, or getting the whole family and our truck locked inside the appliance company’s fenced yard after picking our new washing machine up from the loading dock at the very end of the day, or Jorge wrestling the washing machine off the truck and into the house without a dolly through six inches of mud...

Up 800 meters above sea level, around 91 twisting, curvy turns, 20 kilometers from the highway turnoff, past two scenic overlooks and one national park, that’s where we’ll be, setting up house, anticipating DSL.


How much of human life is lost in waiting.
