i only have a couple of minutes and this internet connection is not good at all. i have several fairly light things about life here that i would like to post and in december comes a mountain of what i hope to be fairly hard hitting stuff.
On the big election day i will select somewhere in the capital to watch the results come in and post on the reaction here...along with a story i hope.
a couple of notes for now:
- despite the well know change in laws regarding family contacts and sending money, many here seem to react as they would in any other election, ie it doesnt' matter who wins....though bush of course (like Argentina and Mexico) is especially despised. Some though are very aware of how important the election is.
- I've eaten lobster 6 times in 3 weeks....for 2 bucks a tail....MAN!!!
-I'll try to post soon on what it's like on the gua gua or bus here...quite an adventure for a foreigner..and not a comfortable one
- for the next few months there will be regular daily black outs...a normal occurence in the capital but not so much here, apparently some part that comes from the Czech republic broke and they need their help in fixing it.
- last sunday i went fishing on a catamaran. of course i didn't catch anything but i did film it. some interesting looking fish.
i hope to write more soon....but internet service is not good. and as i write this i fear the screen will disappear and i will lose what i wrote...oh and long live the expos!!!!!!!! fucking MLB...1994 destroyed us and I will never, ever root for 'the home team' again. They can all go to hell.
Brian, What are you doing now days?
Enjoying the sun and the lobsters,or being lazy.
Keep in touch please.
Have a good day
Louis
