Photo Title	Our Remote Internet Cafe
Photo Description	While serving in Peace Corps with my husband, Ron, we have great difficulty connecting to the internet because of the mountainous terrain. We are serving in a remote and very rural community in Jamaica, nestled near the Blue Mountain Peak. If and when we are able to accomplish this, we have found that there is only one spot that may work: outside, on the highest point in our yard—a burial vault. Daytime is not a good time either, so early morning or late evening the chances are better—thus, the headlamp. If it’s raining, I’ll sit under an umbrella. It’s a real challenge capturing the internet, so we have learned not to rely on it in our community. But on the evening of August 28, 2010, Ron was able to capture me pleased with making the rare connection!
