A number of people have asked me, after my last post, if I´m doing alright, and if I have enough water, and should they worry about me? I´m fine. My host family is lucky in that we get water for at least two hours a day, and we have a big cement holding tank, so we just let that fill up and use the water throughout the day. Even with nine people in the house we´ve never gotten to less than one-fourth of the way full.
Also, the rain has started so, now we can just set out garbage cans, and barrels, and buckets, and they fill up fast. Like really fast. And they tell me that this isn´t anything yet. I spent four years in Oregon, I thought I knew rain, but this is a different beast. It´s not constant yet, but it will be, and apparently when it is, it will be pouring like I have never seen, as opposed to the steady, but reasonable amount of Oregon rain. This will be an absurd amount of rain...speaking of absurdity, have you ever seen a wet chicken? It is the silliest looking thing ever. That´s all for now.
