One step forward, two steps backward, then, three steps forward????

Well, since we last wrote we have been moved (on paper only) from Apartment 5A to Apartment 6, then back to 5A, and now to Apartment 4715-32 (well maybe). All of this involved hours and hours in various lines at the power company and the water bureau having utilities disconnected, reconnected, disconnected again, and (we hope) reconnected again. With multiple deposits that were not refunded, of course. Tomorrow may reveal whether or not we will actually live in the hypothetical Apartment 4715-32 (which, incidentally, was some entirely different number on the paperwork.
On a more positive note, a doctor determined on Friday (for the meager sum of $15) that neither of us in an imbecile or an idiot! (Who knew?) This is a requirement for the application of residency.
But, by far, the best day was Sunday, when our new marvelous and angelic friends Karin and Pat took us to the relatively nearby Mokoloki Private Wildlife Sanctuary where we were able to hang out and enjoy the landscape and all the amazing biota it supports for 12 hours! We'll try and post a few photos from that adventure, but with the small bandwidth here and the fact that every employee of this hotel is probably on Facebook at this very moment, we are not exceedingly optimistic.

So until we find a permanent residence and obtain more reliable internet access, please be patient with these brief postings dear friends and family. We love and miss you all!
