It's an uphill battle...

March 4, 2009
So, you would think that simple things like phone and internet service are a given, right? Well, not if you live in the jungle of Belize. I seem to be moving to the Bermuda Triangle of Belize where no signal survives and no one "can hear me now". Tomorrow, I will find out if internet satellite service is a possibility. If so, I can get my hands on a used dish and we'll be set to go. I know, I know - a used dish - but in this economy, even my satellite dish is a hand-me-down. That will take care of internet but there's still the phone problem. So, for that we have to buy a fixed cell and an antenna which will go on a bamboo pole to get high enough to catch the elusive signal. I still don't know if that bamboo pole is tall enough to beat out the ceiba tree, but we'll see...
