Three days of steady very heavy rain! We are starting to see a lot of flooding. We read that in this week alone there has been more rainfall than the average yearly rainfall in this area (41 centimeters in the past 24 hours). We walked to the beach at 1100 to get some lunch and walk around a bit. Became completely soaked through our clothes in spite of carrying umbrellas. As we attempted to walk back to the resort, we found the road impassable to vehicles. Within only a couple of hours, we found flooding as deep as one meter - walked through the rushing water, praying that we would not encounter any snakes. I am sure the water we walked through was full of trash and maybe worse, so needless to say, we showered and sent our clothes to the laundry immediately. That's enough adventure for me.
I am staying close to the cabin and hoping the rain lets up enough to allow us to get to the airport on Thursday, 31 March. A couple of people have commented that I am on the computer a lot for 'vacation.' Thank goodness we have a good Internet connection, because that is our main entertainment. It is fantastic that we can post photos and read responses from people all over the world - that Chris could post Chase's video of Karate competition, and we could see it all the way over here - that we can call our friends and family using Skype, talking to Australia and the US.
