A tree just knocked over the power line. I'm writing this with what's left of my laptop battery. I have no idea how long it will be till we have power again, so if you don't hear from me for a few day, don't fret. I'm probably fine :)
Update:
Well the good news is that the electric repair here is surprisingly efficient tonight. We got the power back in a couple of hours. It was out just long enough to get everyone riled up. The stove and fridge are electric here, we were worried we would starve, hah.
Anyway, that's just half the story. So we're all sitting out on the porch watching the rain, talking about the power outage. Then the power turns back on and I run up to the apartment and when I turned on the light there was a bat flying around inside! I screamed and ran back down. All the kids ran up to see, and Ivan got it out. Just for the record, he screamed a little too, haha. I'm sure he was here for the fruit fly infestation we've been battling. I'm not sure where to keep fruit that's not out in the open where they can get them : /
Sounds like an adventure! So, can you pick the fruit right off the trees? What kinds of fruit do they have? Any oranges or apples, or just mangoes and crazy things like that?
ReplyDeleteHere where we live the fruit trees are lemons, mangos, coconuts (still green but I drink the milk anyway) and star fruit (only a few left, the season is ending)
ReplyDeleteI've been eating a lot of mango lately, it's heavenly!:)
We do get apples and strawberries and other things at the farmers market on Mondays, they have a bigger selection. Just had my first passion fruit, yum!
