Today I have been a little homesick. The heat and traffic are getting to be a little much for all of us. The worse part is that our cell phones have been predictably unpredictable. I will wait all day for that window of time to call our parents and it will say "No network available" "Network busy" or "Out of Service". Today I actually got a "No funds available" and learned that our cell phone is a pre-paid plan. If our phone is in our window and the breeze is blowing toward the lagoon (Seriously) our phone will ring and let us know that someone is calling. In order to talk to that person, we need to go down 33 levels to the building entrance where we can get service sometimes. So yes. It is inconvenient. But as in any developing country, "They are working on it" can mean anywhere from 1 week to 1 year. For now, we will use email and wait for our land line to be hooked up.
If you would like to *brighten* our day please leave us some comments or send us an email. Avery laughs big belly laughs at every email he gets. We are a little behind at responding to them right now, but he's read (and re-read) every one he's received.

Hey guys! Was thinking about you, longing for some sunny weather as it's 50 degrees and raining hard for the past week. Guess we always want what we can't have lol. Hang in there!

Thanks Jon,
Today was better. It actually really helps to blog. I owe it all to your encouragement that I started this. If I could just feel one raindrop on my skin it would make a HUGE difference. If something wet falls on you here, your like what the heck was that. Nasty.
