40 Days and 40 Nights


Well, actually, it was only three days and nights of torrential downpours... but boy was it intense! We live in one of the communities bordering the Cangrejal River, and our neighborhood was essentially floating! Unfortunately, we were unable to take pictures until a day or so after the storm, so the water level had already dropped, but even so, it is impressive. The drainage system here leaves much to be desired. This first picture is the backyard of a bilingual school, and the second shows the fairway of the 18th hole at the local golf course, although it appears to be a lake! Four days post-storm, the waters are down, and everything is back up and running.

Send some of that rain this way. We are still under water rationing. Thaks for the updates and glad to hear all is well. I know you will be anxious to have your folks there. Blessings, Schuyler and Phyllis
