The joy of living in the tropics is that you never quite know when a rain storm is coming.... This morning was bright and beautiful.... but by the time I left work it was POURING rain... not the sissy rain we get in Alaska... the torrential, fill the gutters in 5 minutes type of rain! Unfortunately Joe was already on his was to pick me up from work and take me to the Peace Builders training... he quickly swapped the motorcycle for the jeep... but that too proved disasterous when the jeep stalled from all the water on the road and refused to start. I finally sent Joe back to the training via taxi and said I would try to get it started and then take it home (we were only a mile from home). An hour later I finally gave up and braved the rain to head home... I'm currently trying to dry out! There is no doubt in either of our minds that a 4X4 rig with a snorkel is needed when we move... this is just city driving rain... wait till the real fun begins with muddy roads and swollen rivers! yeehaw...
