Mom's Thoughts on Paradise

For those paying attention, you’ll note that Jenn’s last blog post is from June 14. Never fear, although she has neglected to blog, we have heard from her occasionally, so we know she’s not been buried in an avalanche or other catastrophe. (I refer you back to Ignorance is Bliss and the Addendum for a more complete list of potential catastrophes…)

Part of the problem is lack of internet. Although they now have internet in their dorm, it’s hard to get on, and she mostly still has to get off the mountain to have good internet. Cell phone signals are also difficult. The weather has been great on the mountain, and the views fantastic (as viewed from the webcams), but the cell signals are poor, and it frequently takes many tries to have a cell phone conversation.
