Yep.....got water

Yea... water has been restored, that's good, even though we had water on-hand, glad it's back on. Our neighbors came over to get pool water for the toilets....so glad we had our pool. At least it wasn't like the time we were in Maine in the the 'Ice Storm of 98' when we were without power for 10 days.

Well have a great day  

Update to Got water........?

Here is a map of areas with no water

Will keep you update, good thing we have bottled water on-hand

Got water......?????

Well exciting day.... no water.....

Well about 2 million people, including me are with out water.  Heavy rains and warm weather have melted snowy packs in the Andes mountains, causing landslides and nearby rivers to flood. The Chilean water utility company Aguas Andinas says that mud, rocks and trees on Sunday forced temporary closure of three purification plants.
Oh well ..who drinks water  anyways... more beer..laugh. Suppose to be back on tonight or early tomorrow, will see. Especially because here, they give you a time and...well, will see.

Have a great day......:)

Happy New Year

Well the new year has begun.

We spent New Year's Eve at the church to watch the fireworks. We got to the church at about 10:00PM, so we played games and had snacks.

The church is a great spot to watch the fireworks because it is right in front of the mountains where they launch the fireworks. By the time the fireworks started the road was really crowed with people waiting for the fireworks to start. It was a great display, it lasted about 35 minutes, seen some awesome.

Then the real excitement, time to go home.....
Well I I said the road was crowded, it seem that Chileans real like to celebrate the New Year so traffic was really bad. We had to hurry to catch the bus as they were going to run till 1:30 AM or so. Well we able to catch the first bus about two blocks from the church. It was not the normal one we catch, which is C01 to Francisco Bilbabo, but this one also went to Francisco Bilbabo. But then we had to catch the next one to home, which is 418 or 429. Well we waited and waited, one of the guys waiting said that the 429 was done but the 418 was coming  Well we waited and still didn't see one. The guy who told us that it was coming left, he took a taxi. So we started to walk, we  had walked about a 1/2 hour or so. It was funny we met the guy who had took the taxi , he was a bus stop again, but we just keep walking.When all the sudden we saw a a bus at the stop light. Susan was able to get his attention and we were able to get on. Yea, it was crowed but we were able to get on. We got home about 2:30 AM. So next year I think we will skip the fireworks.

Well some new news and pictures.
We had some friends from church over for a swimming party. The day started out looking like it was going to be cold, but it warmed up nice. We had fun and food, and played games. Here are some pictures
