Ok so I should not have jinxed us. Yesterday was fine and asoleado even though the power went out, but come night it started raining raining and raining. Today Saul didn't show up for work which means the Rio probably flooded his house. I took a friend to work on my moto which is a job in itself. I have to wear board shorts because the water is waist deep in some places. All the roads are flooded and the bridges aren't passible. I got word today that the gas stations (hand pump ones) are also closing. All in one day this shit happened. On a brighter note power came back on this morning and I also have internet. Got food and movies to last this thru too.

have a great day!

Oct 14th

Well it's already half way through October and we have yet to see the rains in full force. It has been raining mostly at night stopping early morning with blue skys and sunshine. Not many people around.. It's sooo nice like this.

hormigas

Hormigas or Ants are problems from everyone. Yesterday I went into my bathroom to see it covered with thousands of Red Ants. Immediately wanting to kill them all I decided to ask Saul why they were all in that one area. He pointed out the trail of Black Ants who march in a uniformed line to their destination. He explained that the red ones were hiding with their babies from the black ones because the blacks would kill them.He went on to tell that the black ones had come from the mountain probably because of rain in search of food. The black ones come by the thousands and if you think you are going to stop them you are kidding yourself. Ask anyone here. What to do? Let them run their course and they will be gone in no time. Besides they kill the unwanted insects along their path. So in a way the black ones are good,unless they sting you, and the red ones are the ones you don't want. Because the shower was filled with the red ones holding their babies Saul sprayed and killed them all. A sad but needed genocide for the Hormiga Rojo. Point to this blog is the fact that sometimes taking time out to understand even the littlest of creatures can be entertaining.
