Internet Problems (to say the least)

Hola!

Interesting times this week.  So the story goes that a fellow up the road was trimming his (very large) trees, and he cut down a large limb which landed on the hydro wires servicing our end of of things.  This caused what we in the biz like to call an "big freakin' electrical fire", followed by a multi-day power outage.  The electrical utility here refused to service the lines because they were on private property, so our gardener and owner headed up to fix the problem (everyone's a high-voltage electrician in Costa Rica).  Through the magic of rope, gardening tools and sheer determination they returned power, but in the wake of this event the internet seems to have developed some functional problems.  Thus we are without internet, a luxury that I had not expected but had come to appreciate greatly.  Anyway, this should be fixed soon enough, but for the time being I am using the painfully slow internet at the local cafe, so no photos at the moment.  I have some lined up though, so expect future updates soon!

Cheers!
Kyle
