Shell Day

It's a rainy day here in Meulaboh. This is just like a Shell day, and after the hot weather of the past week, I'm enjoying the overcast and rain. There isn't much activity going on in the 'net café, and after the action of the past week, I'm happy with the break. I'm sitting in my tent, enjoying the sound of the rain, and drinking a hot cup of coffee. Despite the rain, there is activity in the 'tent city'. A lot of lumber is being brought in, and being used for flooring in the tents. It rained again last night, quite heavily, so dry tents are going to be important in the long haul.

I've been told the VSAT site up in Banda Aceh should be operational by tonight. That would be great news, and I'm waiting for a phone call from Elias letting me know that it's up and running. We continue to get very positive reviews from all users, and they are extremely grateful to have this service available.
