ao vivo

That´s right folks, I am writing this today "ao vivo" (live) from Ponta Verde. Approximately four months after the opening celebration of our esteemed "sala de informatica" (computer room) with the promise of internet being "quasi pronto" (almost ready, I swear...), it is finally here. I am a little in awe myself, having worked here throughout the first group of classes patiently awaiting the allignment of the magical forces (technology and CV Telecom) that allow me the liberty to sit, as I am right now, and be connected with the rest of the world! With just a 15 minute walk (as opposed to a 45 minute, 100$00 car ride and the excruciating temperature rise that awaits in Sao Filipe) I can sit here in front of this magical glowing screen and hear the soothing click as I pour my thoughts out onto this page to be read by all and any.

I know, to those of you who have constant DSL access, this may seem a bit foolish and extravagant, but I assure you, it is the little things in life that bring us the most joy, and for a little thing, this is pretty big.
