And then the rains came

Holy Moly did it ever rain, for a good 12 hours, varying from torrential
downpour to steady. Raise your hand if you've ever been in a house with a
tin roof when it rains. It's LOUD! Add in cracking ripping thunder and
lightening and you've got one heck of a show.

Course all things grind to a halt here when it rains. It kinda does in the
city (SF) too the first time it pours, but we don't lose electricity, and
people more or less still make it to work. I think there were 2 teachers
here this morning. A few more trickled in around 2nd and 3 periods. None
of the learners who stay in the area came, only the ones that stay at the
hostel.

And then there's mud, lots and lots of mud. My shoe sunk in so deep it came
off. Plus I nearly slipped and fell quite a few times.

And, the very best part about it all is...in a few hours the mosquitoes will
come. Heaven help us.
