Keeping In-touch with Family and Friends

Yes we have internet access at Le Monastere! 

There is one computer located just outside the lounge for us all to share. 

A wireless connection is available but the access is a little limited so if you bring a laptop you may find yourself wandering the halls to hunt down a signal. I recall that you can connect in the lounge and in a couple of other areas of our home.  It is a big stone building that is great for peace and quiet but those wonderful, thick walls make it tricky for digital signals to pass through.

You may find a cafe with free wifi, but unlike home there is not a Starbucks or MacDonalds on many street corners. With this in mind, I hope you will enjoy our trip as a great escape from all of the hustle and bustle of internet and tele-marketers! 

I will bring along my ipad for internet and presentations I have put together as well as for viewing photos of the locations we visit for studio work. I plan to bring along a card reader that works with the small SD card for uploading some of our photos to the blog, from time to time, for family and friends to see what we are up to. We may even try a mini video!  Please be sure to pass this site on to your gang so they can see what you are up to and post their greetings to us.

In the past I have had students arrange for international phone access on their mobile phones. If this is something you require investigate this option through your phone provider. There is one phone in the kitchen for emergency use. If someone needs to contact you they can call but because there is not always someone in the kitchen it may go unanswered. It is possible to leave a message but a return call may not be swift. You will find it better to make contact by your personal email.
