We have a lovely room with two double beds a fan and air con and a bathroom with the obligatory cold shower and toilet paper bucket - but last night it rained so hard that the bathroom ceiling leaked so we are moving into another room tonight. We pay $200 for 7 nights here which is quite cheap compared to everywhere else, but food bumps the bill up a bit.
Because of the rain we are a bit stuck, El Zonte doesn't have any shops or taxis. We could get a chicken bus and may do tomorrow if it doesn't stop raining (and the locals say it wont!) Today we got up and had breakfast and then Sam did some school work (a bit of art) and Will is threatening to do some maths later! We watched Sherlock Holmes on the ipod and then went for a walk in the monsoon rain (and got soaked!) now will and sam are playing table tennis and i am writing this. There is another guy staing here called Jun he is Japanese and really lovely. He is a teacher in Japan and has taken 3 weeks to travel Central America, he has travelled a lot before and speaks great Spanish and English fortunately he also likes table tennis.
Will's itches have cleared up but Sam has got a few more bites which I hope will go down soon. No Benadryl cream Dad but he got some other stuff that seems to have done the trick.
So please everyone (especially you astrologers) pray for the rain to stop... it's such a beautiful location but we really need the sun because there is nothing to do in the rain :(

I'm really, really sorry that its raining, but at least, as you say, it's warm. And at least you aren't yet in South Island New Zealand, where they have had an earthquake. They are clearly going to get that stuff over with before you go! Did you know (I didn't) that they call the South Island the Shaky Island? Clearly it's better to go to North Island.
ReplyDeleteAs for Astrology and the rain...not my forte, I'm afraid. But I will put a shout out, and ask those who do do Astrology and the weather what they think. Dare I tell you we are having a bit of an Indian Summer! But it's only going to last till Tuesday apparently. Your Grandma told me that. Phoned me specially. (g)
Jessica, it seems, is having a 'cakefest'. This last few weeks she seems to have been doing nothing but cooking magnificent cakes! Chocolate ones, courgette ones...and so on. We want to know what she's up to. Is she trying to fatten Alex up, and if so, why so.
Anyway....willing the weather to change for you....and thinking it is a good chance to get Sam down to some Maths!! Go for it William!

I am currently praying for sun! So by tomorrow it should be with you!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteIt strikes me that rain makers are plentiful but rain-go-away makers don't seem to exist. I think that is something to do with farmers and crops!! Perhaps you need to appeal for the prayers of cricket lovers.
ReplyDeleteGlad Will's itches are going. And can I say once more that its all very well complaining abiut the price of food but haven't mentioned what it is that you ate!!
Love
Dad
