Our Impassable Road and Driveway

This last week, our road was physically impossible to drive on. We have been having a significant amount of rain, and with it, we were shut off from the city. Fortunately for us, the city only let this go on for two days before sending out a crew to try and open it up. They brought out 3 huge machines, a ton of dirt, and plowed our road. We were grateful to have our road opened up, but they brought in too much sand, and now it has not rained in 4 days. So, it went from being impassable from all the mud, to now being incredibly sandy –almost one extreme to the next.

They were actually able to fix our road all the way down to where the plaza is in Santo Tomas. We were grateful until we walked outside our gate and realized that our driveway was obliterated. So now, not only were our motorcycles stranded, but so was the bus that they decided to park in our land (we use this for hauling the girls to church and other functions in and around town). It was a 3 foot drop! Thanks to some help from the office guys, we were able to make-shift it for the time being, and more work will follow this week. Looks like some of the machines worked to our disadvantage as well.
