Where Have You Been?

It's been quiet here, despite my best promises to update frequently, eh? Well, we have spent the last 5 days in the smallest of small towns, where dependable internet and cell service are considered the luxuries of the big city folk. I have finally found a connection by bringing my laptop up to the host site of our current campground and begging 5 minutes of internet time.

Our lack of connection extends to all media as well: Kristian was begging the Laker score from shopkeepers, until he found that he could send text messages from his cell phone, though he couldn’t make a call. Sr. Bower came through with score updates by text message after that. I tried to buy a paper on Sunday morning, only to find that the most recent paper available was several days old. On Monday, I drove 20 miles to the nearest big town to leave messages for family and buy supplies and otherwise we resigned ourselves to the media blackout (It wasn‘t that hard, and rather welcome anyway!).

We should have regular internet access in Sacramento, and so pictures and more blog posts will have to wait until then, sorry!
