90 degrees and gorgeous, we eat, we swim, we sleep.  Have to do errands outside of siesta hours.  The cats look very hot today- think perhaps Cleo would like to be shaved.


We'll stay here for another week or so waiting for packages to show up, setting up a SAT phone and firing up the SSB radio.  When we leave here, we will effectively go off grid as far as phone and internet go.  We'll still get email- internet cafes are everywhere- but we can chuck our verizon phones overboard, causing heavy-metal pollution in the deep.  When we arrive in a new country we'll get whatever phone card they're using and call everyone.  We do, of course, have multiple layers of emergency electronic equipment should thing go sour, but have no plans to use them.
