We have to come to cyber cafés to fill you in on our adventures while Internet service gets set up at the apartment. We have contracted the service from Anteldata which is an autonomous enterprise run by the state. The connection and service, we hear, is the best; it only takes some time to set it up. The first person we spoke to said it would take approximately 7 days to set up. The person who attended us at their offices the second time we went said it would be 15 or so. Yikes!
Things, otherwise, are going well. We have some new friends; the apartment is great (except for the various electricity switches that will turn off the refrigerator even though it is plugged in); and food is still as delicious as ever (more on that fine topic later).

Hey Hugo and Francine!! Sounds like you are having a rich experience there -- how excellent! It's cool to see your blog of your adventures. Keep sharing!

It may be good idea to put tape on the switches so you don't use them by mistake. The switch controls the outlet on the wall. So It may be that the outlet wasn't always for a fridge. I'm glad things are going well.
I found a link that gives a breakdown on prices for internet. Prices are CRAZY!!!

Hi, Hugo and Francine,
We enjoy your communications very much! Please keep up the effort!
We are doing well and plan to pick up a new computer obtained with Carlos' assistance on September 18-19th.
Love, Grandpa and Grandma
