posting photos

i have been sitting here at arka, an internet station in auroville, for about 2 hours, and have only managed to get one photo posted! this is starting to drive me crazy. the internet connection seems fast enough, so it must be the computer itself? maybe too much traffic? ive got about 70 photos that i want to put up, and when it takes 5 minutes to upload just one, im not so sure that this is a viable task...

it has been raining a lot here - monsoon style - for the past 3 days. it is supposed to continue for a few more, however we do get breaks of sunshine. last night i went up after a few card games to look at the stars and watched the thunderheads move past mitra (the guest house i am staying in) on either side, lit up by lightning. directly overhead, the sky was clear and i could gaze at the primordial light penetrating empty space. the mosquitoes certainly like the weather that we've been having, and it is impossible to wash anything because it will not dry! also, the lovely red earth has turned to lovely red mud, which turns everything it comes into contact with the same lovely shade. my toes look like they've been hennaed!
