That’s what we spent several hours watching yesterday - it was quite the spectacle! I have several hundred photos to process from yesterday (that’s culled down from over 900 photos), but I wanted to share a bit of what we’ve experienced thus far…

He tests the bandwidth at the place where he’s staying of course! Check this out…

17 mbps downstream? Wow - that’s fast. At home in Calgary I’m on a 10 mbps connection and it’s really more like 9 mbps. The upstream speed isn’t that impressive though - I have a solid 1 mbps at home - so this is probably DSL. Unfortunately, as fast as it is, the router seems to not like my laptop, I keep having to unplug it to get an IP address.

[OK, this post is mostly a joke, this is certainly not the first thing I did when we got here, but I haven't had time to write about our adventures thus far...hopefully today on the train I'll have a good two hours to process my photos and write.]
