We got fast internet!

So, after  over three years on the rock of worsening internet speeds I decided to switch from the local gov't run option (AS Telcom Authority, or ASTCA) to the private option, Blue Sky.  It's more expensive than your average mainland option, and much slower, but still lightening fast compared to ASTCA.  So, that means I can post photos again!  Hurry!

Here are some!

Sunset Amalao.  Can you imagine how many people would be here ruining this photo of this was sunset on a beautiful  beach in FL?

A cloudy windy day at the point.

Starting to clear up.

That's more like it.  This is the backside of the point, so we are in the wind shadow (thank you coconut trees).

Special effects are fun.

The point.  Or, at least a section of it.

Beauty is in the small things.
