Just a quick update on the happenings of today. Today is Saturday, so you would assume that we have had a leisurely day right? But we haven’t. We got up early and caught the bus to school for Open House. Open House is when all the parents come to sign out the books for the kids and meet the teachers. Diana had a great day meeting students and parents. I did not see any parents because my room was not a book station. This gave me time to spruce up my room and get some reading done. Hopefully, pics of my room will be coming soon. We had a great catered lunch at school today so that was definitely a perk.
We got home around 4 and were settling when a lady, Claudia, who had invited us to church the previous day randomly showed up at our place! We had no idea how she knew where we lived but I invited her up and we got things set for church tomorrow.
Finally another strange thing happened today. We ran out of water. Yes you read correctly…we ran out of water. Diana went to turn on the faucet and it was simply dripping on her hands. I had the same experience. Turns out you only get water from the water company some days and other days you have to use from your own tank. If the water pressure is low on a given day then you need to make sure you don’t use the washer lest you deplete the water supply. In our ignorance we had been running the washer today thus depleting the water supply. So I am still not entirely sure when we are going to have running water again. Bienvenidos a Honduras!
UPDATE: We are now officially bone dry and I made the mistake of using the toliet...uh oh
Wow! I take endless, clean fresh water for granted!!
ReplyDeleteThat makes for a funny story!
