slow internet is worse than_________(fill in the blank)

when it rains it pours
and when it pours all wireless electronics stop functioning.
I mentioned before that my home internet connection is very slow and stopped working last weekend when we had a bunch of rain.
Well the rain started up again and not only does the home internet not work, but the wireless internet at work stopped for several hours.  I asked why and of course chuva (rain) was the answer.

In addition to the internet, cellular phones stop working as well!  so strange.....

to think of sunnier things....here is a photo of the city from the high city of the marcado (an old slave market) that reportedly has a tunnel to the harbor right next to it.... what for I did not understand..
