Currently our internet connection is inconsistent, weak, random and sketchy. Roadrunner it isn't! So to post to my blog, I have to walk about two miles to the nearest internet cafe. I take a right at the Gado Gado stand at the end of the street and walk towards town fending off all my new vendor friends as I go. Once you look you are dead and if you touch something you had better get your wallet out. Some remind me that I said "I'll come back" so reluctantly I agree to check out their wares. Before long they are wrapping sarongs around you right and left. They are the sweetest, nicest, gentlest people so it can be quite fun. I've bought/haggled a few things along my route. There is usually a lot of whining on both sides until we settle on a price. I bought a sarong today for $3. I wonder how low I can go...
