Rainy season has been very dry this year. Our road has never become impassible, the water is low and we have never had rain for multiple days in a row. At first, we were happy, thinking we would not have flood issues like last year, but then we heard the dreaded news: the water is expected to rise higher than last year! There has been more snow in the Andes than usual and the melt is what causes the flooding. We are beginning to see the effects now.
We have begun piling sandbags behind the buildings, trying to make a “wall” to keep it from getting to us in the first place, but that may be a bit wishful. We’ll find out soon! May will be “the month”. We will continue to fill hundreds of sand bags and do all we can to prevent the kitchen, sala and rooms downstairs from flooding. Our bathroom situation will be tricky as well. Expect more news about this next month.

Here are a couple shots from our room last week. The water rises daily.
