And I was looking forward to hot water

Our water heater ruptured last night. We have about 45 more days on our home warranty.

Hopefully there’s no sky tumbling down.

Janie is in Antigua

We drove all day today to get to Antigua from the Valley (about 10 hours). I have wifi now although my inbox is seriously scary. Tomorrow I might go up to a volcano (mount picaya) or do a tour here. I’m going to try to go to church tomorrow night at Santo Domingo. It’s built around Mayan ruins, and promises to be cool. Leaving the Valley, where there is no electricity, makes me feel like I’m ready to come home. It’s a different world up there. Anyway, I’ll have more when I get home.

I don’t have time to read through my massive inbox, so I’m not reading replies.
We’re still working hard in the Valley. It’s not going as fast as the coordinators hoped, so we might stay here another day before going to Antigua for the weekend. It’s just so incredibly wet. I knew it was a rainforest, but goodness it rains 1″-2″ per day.
Otherwise, doing well.
