Well, after 4 days without internet--we are back on line. And now I know how to fix the problem. Flip the switch and reset the router that is located in our neighbors carport. I wish I would have known that 4 days ago. =) But at least we are back on line for the time being. We lost the internet because of some serious rain. Yes, the true Shell weather has arrived--just in time for us to host our first visitor. More on that in a future blog.
Last weekend we had a field trip, paseo in spanish, with some of the other missionaries to Puyo. The "big" city located about 6 km down the road. They have a nice river walk--along the river, obviously--that we enjoyed as a group. Then we climbed the lookout tower for a view of the river and the city. And we finished the mornings adventures with a yummy lunch--a local specialty that you can't find anywhere else in Ecuador.
The kids and Mike enjoyed swinging on the vines and contemplating some cliff jumps into the river. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the river is very shallow in most places so there wasn't much opportunity. It was a fun day and after almost 2 months of getting settled and spending the majority of our time in Shell--it was a great to get out and see just a bit more of this beautiful country and enjoy time with our new missionary friends and colleagues.
