It's been another interesting day in Ecuador. Today is Independence Day so most of the city is closed. We tried to do a little shopping for our still completely unfurnished apartment, but had minimal luck so we headed home to await our Wi-Fi installation. About 15 minutes after we get home a guy shows up and rings our bell with some equipment that looked techy and not speaking a word of English. We just assumed he was here for our Wi-Fi and dragged him up to our fourth floor apartment. After a very frustrating 10 minute conversation we discovered that he was not here for us but to check the water meter on the house (we think). Poor guy, must have thought we were lunatics!!
About 30 minutes later (and 2 hours earlier then actually scheduled) the actual Wi-Fi install team arrived. Thankfully we were home because one of the other teachers has missed her install guys 3 times now. The guys who came were very nice, but didn't speak a word of english so it was a difficult transaction to say the least.
Anyway, it's all set up now and we can stay a little more connected and have something to do at home until we figure out how to get some form of TV.
Still no actual furniture though, so we are sitting on the floor. It's all part of the adventure...
