The accommodations are not bad at all. The only thing we lack for is power outlets. I bought a power strip, but we are running 220V and I can only run the laptop because it has a converter. I have to charge the ipod from it. The ipod seems to take lnger to charge from the laptop. Food is plentiful, and there is a great variety of local juices, milks and ice creams. The local ice cream is very good. There is a souvenir shop of local goods, and large store that sells just about anything one could want from the local area or back home. I don’t plan on buying too much here though. Once I settle down a bit more I may buy things like a blanket and sheets and rugs.
The weather here is not as bad as I had thought it would be. The air conditioning makes it very nice, and downright cold at night. I am glad I didn’t come in the summer time.
I went to the gym this morning and it is enormous. There was one piece of equipment that intrigued me. It was a rock climbing treadmill. I might have to take a picture of it. I’d never heard of such a thing before. Unfortunately, it was out of order. There is a contest tomorrow that I may enter if I have time.
Since internet time is limited, I will be copying any emails that I get onto my flash disk and then typing replies on my laptop and sending them the next time that I get internet access. So it may take me some time to send more than a few sentences in response to any email.

'Glad things aren't too bad there. Is the competition for the rock climbing machine? I can't wait to hear more about it.
