Well, our phone line is finally hooked up, but unfortunately, due to the way things work around here, we can't add internet to our service for 3 months (nor can we upgrade our service plan to get a cheaper international rate). So for now we're still using our neighbor's connection. She is trying to get high-speed, which we could then share, and so there is a chance we may end up with high-speed internet for cheaper than it would be for us to have dial-up (which will we choose??). Unfortunately, I don't have our number written down, so I can't give it to you :(.
This past weekend, we had a great day and a half at the beach (3 hours away) and staying at an all-inclusive resort right on the beach for $70 per night for the both of us (not bad, huh?). It was much needed and the break was wonderful. I even took the time to watch about half an hour of ND football- probably the worst half-hour of football they played so far in the season, but oh well. We also got to stop at what most of us would think of as a supermarket but to us it was more like an amusement park and were able to get fun things like eggroll wrappers, frozen calamari, crushed red pepper (which is greatly lacking in this country), and even natural peanut butter.
In not-so-good news, I was sick Wednesday and came home from school early and collapsed and rested the rest of the day. Teresa was also beginning to feel under the weather too. Whether from the rest or the anti-parasite medicine we're now taking (it's only $1.50 per treatment and it's over-the-counter, so people here said to take it even if in doubt), I'm feeling much better now and Teresa doesn't seem to be getting very bad.
As so many of us have been affected, our little inconvenience from Hurricaine Rita was that it made it impossible for the flight with our textbooks to leave Florida, so this means that we should be getting them next Tuesday, as long as the plane can fly. It has been tough not having textbooks and has been a real financial drain on the school needing to make so many photocopies.
So, yeah, what else is going on... Teresa is out with a bunch of ladies at a fellowship dancing thing that I don't quite understand. I'm babysitting for our neighbor's son and getting to relax and lesson plan. We're looking forward to a weekend home, hopefully getting to do some things around our apartment.
God bless you all!

What medicine are you taking? We took it regularly in Peru, too, but I was actually allergic to it. Not fun. :-( 'Course parasites are less fun. Glad to hear you are doing well! Are you all moved into your house by now?
Yup! We're in our house and want to send pictures but will when we have flash. Hopefully it will all work out! :) And we might get vonage so we could even talk on the phone!!!
