Water, No Electricity, A Little Water, Electricity

A long day...first we awoke this morning to find ourselves without water which makes our lives very difficult, particularly when coupled with the intense heat. We went without water until about 4:30 p.m. when we began to get a trickle and then almost immediately we lost all power.

Seems some 'brainiac' decided to cut down a huge tree with his machete without first checking to see if it would land on the power lines...imagine that, not planning in Honduras? That meant we had to eat out tonight and pray we would have water and electricity when we returned.

We came home about 7:00 p.m. and breathed a sigh of relief when we saw lights in the neighborhood. As you can imagine the first thing we checked once inside was the water situation...once again we were getting a trickle, but not enough to take showers upstairs or enough to flush the two toilets filled with poo..........

We're now taking showers one at a time in the downstairs bathroom and although it's slow going, we going!
