Big lizard in my back yard!

If you go to the video website Youtube.com you will find a clip that jim posted today. It is a film
that he took yesterday of an iguana that was running around the back of the kitchen, apparently looking for a place to nest.

It was great fun; everybody ran around like maniacs. As you see from the video the iguana was finally caught (thank you Samuel) and released on the beach to lay her imenent eggs.

Living in Mexico is fun!

Connection to the world: is it a good thing?

We have broadband! The timing was amazing! We had just got a bid from a local satellite guy to get satellite internet service which would have been expensive and not *really* super fast. I was about to go that route when I got an e-mail from Anita LaPoint who had been in the Telmex office and heard that they were turning Troncones on. I had been in the office about a year ago and they gave me a 3 year time line. We are guessing that the change occurred as more and more people out here started going satellite, Telmex realized that they were going to miss out on an opportunity to make even more cash. Ahh Haa…

We got a wireless modem and then added another router for a bit more coverage. If you bring your laptop you can get internet in the lobby, restaurant, some of the rooms in the main hotel and our suites. I haven’t tried it but I think that the bungalows are too far away.

Of course I don’t know if this is a good thing. I have always felt that it is important to disconnect from the world when you are on vacation, if you are sitting around doing e-mails and the like how much “fun” can you have. But that is up to each of you. Come try it out and catch some waves in between.
