There are many technical challenges I'm having to overcome. My first day in Bassano I peddled around the town with my laptop open scouting for wifi hotspots. The notion of doing a blog and the day to day necessities of communication depended on laptop usage and finding wifi. What takes no time in New York, took me an hour to locate here. But alas I found my hotspot, located at the base of a modern apartment/business complex where I now make my daily pilgrimage. Let me take a moment to thank that unknown person or business from whom I'm now hacking my Internet connection and hence creating this blog. My second issue was my voltage converter. It was continually overheating, probably due to the heat wave we've been experiencing here in Bassano. It's been a balmy 42ยบ C in the afternoon. My converter finally burned out and I'm terrified of doing the same to my powerbook. Computer parts, especially for an old Apple are difficult to find here. But I was able to find specific cables which enable me to plug directly into the wall. And I got a new voltage converter to keep my camera batteries charged. Hopefully there won't be any more issues.
