Well, after all that, the VoIP is now working. Yesterday, I did a complete reboot of both modem and VoIP gateway. Although I did get the printer working, I didn’t think that the VoIP was fully working. However, today just on a whim, I decided to plug in the phone. I nearly fell into a dead faint when I heard the dial tone. Barbara has been busy calling all her relations to let them know and finally talk to them after almost 3 weeks. Now, I feel as if I can relax and begin to fully appreciate our new surroundings and life. The sound quality seemed quite good, although I understand that sometimes the connection can be poor. They say just hang up and call again to get a better connection. Telmex has 3 internet speeds; I got the middle speed (1 mbps although only on the download; the upload is much slower at 127 kbps). I thought that I might have to upgrade, but if it remains as good as this, I needn’t. With internet, email and VoIP all working, I feel as if things are well in hand and I can relax.
However, I won’t say that I am going to get into the Mexican way. We have a stereotype of Mexicans sitting around in almost perpetual siesta, saying, “Mañana”. However, at least with Fernando’s help, everyone has responded with extremely fast service, often the same day!
This morning we went to Open Circle to listen to a talk on transcendental meditation. The speaker certainly has unlimited belief in its efficacy and benefits. After, we went to David’s for lunch. Jack & Kate introduced us to this little restaurant which is open only for breakfast and lunch. As usual, the food was great and very inexpensive. The temperatures have been fairly moderate, in the low to mid 30s C, although the high for today was 29 C with a nice breeze.
