Patience

I woke up at 4:00 in the morning to discover that the power was out.  Apparently this happens often in Costa Rica.  By the time my alarm went off in the morning it was back up and running.  Last week during our orientation sessions at the University, the power was out for several hours in the morning.  You just get used to it and go on about your day/evening as best you can.

After three visits to ICE, two trips to the RACSA Internet Service provider, and two separate attempts to set up the modem/service over the past two weeks, I am finally connected to the Internet from my casita.  Yeah!
