Bandwidth hog I am

Uruapan__“Estas maraniendo el bandwidth,” you’re hogging the bandwith, is not something you want to hear while you’re trying to upload a video of your latest adventures in trying to track down a cult. In all my internet life (yes, I call it that since I’ve been on since some crazy pre-internet days when I was 17 surfing on librarians’ terminals) I have never been called a bandwidth hog. I felt dejected and insulted and to top it off I was kicked out into the rainy wire-less world with my present of a video dead in my laptop which had also just ran out of battery. So sitting here in Urupuan since 10:30 am, I have been waiting patiently in the corner while my 60 meg video uploads to YouSendIt, just watching the bar slowly fill at 4 kg per minute. It’s worse than waiting for your tea to seep. Filing videos from the remote parts of Mexico has been an exercise in patience and creativity, but at the very least there will be one video of my adventures up by today, thanks to Jeremy. Onward to Guadalajara and Luz del Mundo, Light of the World. There’s a decent article by the San Antonio Express that tells more about this growing church.
