It's Electric.... Boogie Woogie Woogie

New development in Ecuador: no power. Ever. Ecuador is in the midst of it's worst drought in over 30 years. We are supposed to be in rainy season (rain every afternoon), but we've had maybe 10 days of rain since arriving in July. Since most of Ecuador's power is hydroelectric, we are in the midst of an energy crisis. This means that every day we have a power outage. Our neighbors helped us out by showing us the website that posts the time of the scheduled outing the night before. Therefore, our outages are planned, but inconvenient nonetheless. Our house in Conocoto is on a different schedule than the library in Rumiloma, so we are usually without power for 8 hours a day. This makes holding classes/planning for classes/updating my blog very difficult. But again, learning flexibility is one of the joys of living in Ecuador. Hasta pronto.
