Sunday Afternoon

Today we walked back to town to visit friends. We visited a family that lives very close to our gate. They have three children. Mom is very active in the community. She told us that the construction for the computer room was halted because somebody complained about an unsafe wall. Now they have to get enough money to pay for an engineer to come inspect it. The town does not have the money, and they are upset about the situation because they really wanted the computers for the children. At least we know now why construction was halted.

We also visited the family who lives down by the plaza. They are the ones who hold the uniforms for the soccer team. They wash them and keep them safe. The boys come and get changed in their house. This is how we found out that there was a friendly match today, so we stayed and watched. They played well and the score was tied 2 - 2. We just sat by these people's front door and watched the game across the street.

An event is being planned for January 24. Stay tuned...

Some fun facts - The guys are having a great time diving. Here's a picture of dinner they caught.
So far no waves, but plenty of lobsters!

One frustrating problem has been our Internet connection. It has been going in and out, but it seems that it was mainly our computer. It is a good thing that we have a lot of computer knowledge here. The guys finally figured it out and had to reset the computer. It seems to be working fine now. Here is a picture of our Cable Guy (Cory). See all the cables sticking out of the wall?
I knew that you would be impressed by the high tech set up. The guys actually brought a wireless router with them, so they can use the Internet downstairs. Hopefully, we got it down now, and Cory won't have to sit in the broom closet.

As I have been writing this, we have been watching the Chargers. Well, friends, better luck next year!
