Ahhhh internet!

How I missed thee!
OK - so cheesiness aside - I have finally connected wireless-ly to the internet. For how long - I don't know. Its been at least an hour - so that helps.
Good news is we finally heard from the Embassy in Ottawa and they've given us information as to how to get our permits in our passports. Monday we'll go to the Police and get that sorted.
It rains here in spurts. Like once a day (every few days) and not a torrential down pour that lasts all day either (like Halifax).
Internet banking is very weird here: You don't sign in with your bank card number - but with your ID# and then you have your password....and after that - you're given a code of numbers...and you have to refer to your plastic card with various codes and keys - find the matching ones and then in-put that key! Super security.
We got our "Visa Electron Cards" today - we got to pick our own images - I went with the national bird of Finland - and Tim went with an old comedian who is dressed like a homeless person sitting on the beach with no teeth.
Sorry so short - not sure how long this connection will last!
