In a comment on one of my recent post, Mark Allan Meader told that our life here was looking like living in an other time. That's not false.
For the first time readers i'll repeat that we spend two months in Corsica, taking care of some friends house while they are traveling.
Their house is in one of the most rural place of the oriental coast of Corsica, at about 10 km from the sea and about 20 km from the snow.
Our friends live on a big land of about 10 ha. You can't come by car because you have to cross a 20 meters wide river and the only bridge is a handmade one built with steel wires and wood plates.
The house is a tiny one also handmade with wood trunks and plates. There is just one room plus a bathroom. Heat is done by a stove where we burn wood, it also gives us hot water.
Electricity is locally produced by a micro-turbine on a water pipe. That works perfectly for most of things but that's a little to weak to have long work on a serious computer. An amazing thing is that we have a 8 mb/s DSL connection :)
