This time of year we have a bit of reprieve from our electric bills. The government pays a portion of the cost of electricity on all the bills, due to the hot temperatures and the need to have a/c on.

We do have an a/c unit, it is in our small room we use as a school / library room, so it is not on to much.

We get our bills every two months here on the isla ~ the last bill I paid was for service from July 13th to September 10th. Meaning part of that time we were not here to use electricity...

I have friends who got their first electric bill and it was $800.00 dollars (already converted from pesos) 

I am SO happy that my electric bill for TWO months was $194 pesos so roughly $15.00 and 52 cents.... So that is $7.00 and 76 cents per month.

I, am -  a loving it!
