This was the day that started with a crash and ended with a bang.
We had a big rain storm last night and about 6am today we heard a huge crash. I thought a dresser had fallen over. Justin said it sounded like a tree fell down. He was right. Who guesses that and is right?
Anyways, a tree fell over and blocked the road. Luckily some Haitians with axes (who wanted me to pay them for taking their picture and for clearing the road) took care of the large tree in the road. However, it fell through the already pretty useless power lines and completely pulled another power line pole through the fence. The neighbors said we will not have power for a few weeks maybe shorter if we bribe them. It was a "where are we living" kind of day. So we went for an awesome hike and rememberd why we love it here, see separate post.
The day ended with;
-BJ slipping in some water and banging his head in which he gave himself a concussion, complete with vomitting. No we don't need to see a Dr.yet, we've been through this before. Plus each kid only gets one Dr. visit a week here and his has already used his up.
-A new puppy, name yet to be determined with a post to follow. I just hope this one gets to stay around!
-Another flat tire which left Rachel and I hunting down a tire place that was still open with the help of 2 10 year old boys. We found their idea of a "tire place" beinga guy with a bicycle pump.
That was a pretty massive tree that fell. Hope the power gets restored soon.
