Internet?

No we have not been swallowed by polar bears (we haven't even seen a grizzly thankfully). No we didn't fall in the river. No we didn't move to another village. Technology has just eluded us till now...

Maybe just maybe, we will have internet soon. It has been an interesting process trying to get this luxury in the bush of Alaska. We took for granted that back in PA dial-up was basically a thing of the past. Well, step back in time 10 years and there you have bush Alaska. Dial-up is basically all that is available. We have been working to get satellite internet through a grant program here called Open Skies Alaska. We will be the first ones in our village with this internet service so the process has been anything but easy. My hope is that by the time Christmas break rolls around (in just 2 short weeks) that we will finally have that mystic thing called internet again so that I can update all you lovely people on the adventures we have had so far. Thanks for bearing with us.
