We have located relatively fast and
reliable, cheap, and relatively accessible internet! The couple who
proceeded us here reached out to us through Facebook and we've now
exchanged messages and received much useful information, including
that the town library, which we hadn't yet discovered, has
inexpensive and relatively fast internet service.
There were some pix I liked from our
break at Mabuda Farm that I couldn't send because we had to move fast
on their more expensive internet, so I'm attaching them now.
A crowned hornbill is at the bottom of
this picture:
A white chested, shiney-rumped balding
buzzard (quite mature plumage, definitely not breeding season) was
sighted:
We also saw a splendid striped
kingfisher and black-headed herons – not new to us, but good views
of stunning birds.
Phumi on our beautiful veranda:
Back home, we walked over to the high
school to see the election. We were told that 250 had voted there in
the morning, but when we got there in the afternoon there were many
more officials than voters. In fact, the only voter we saw was
turned away, because she was registered at a different polling place,
maybe 7 kilometers away.
The highest official summoned me over,
asking what kind of “observer” I was; I assured him I was the
most unofficial kind there could be – the PC does not want us
involved in politics in any way.
