This is a big day for Danni....we bought him new shoes last Thursday and he has refused to wear them but today he put them on wore them outside!! I am going to put the old pair in the closet - hopefully we have conquered one hurdle. Now we just need him to sleep through the night. The first night here he slept straight through until 6 AM but every night since he is up 1, 2 maybe 3 times. He gets up, walks to our room and then cries. We know this is a huge adjustment for him but he could at least then sleep to 8 AM - no he is up by 630 AM!! Then he falls asleep in the cab or even the cart at the grocery store. So other than our major accomplishment of the shoes we didn't do much today. It rained pretty steady until mid afternoon. Then we walked to Megamaxi and bought groceries - all of us went. We did have the manager of our apartment come (Javier - he is a really nice man) and two electricians. They were here for several hours trying to figure out our electrical issues. They laughed and laughed when I told them what was going on. I think they thought I was crazy! In addition to the dryer on lights on dryer off lights off thing we also had a situation with the hot water on lights off hot water off lights on in our bathroom. So they poked around in all the wires and siad they had it fixed but still no hot water. Javier told us that they got this brand new water heater from the United States --- and that ends up being the issue!!! Some thing burnt out on it and was causing issues with other stuff - too technical for me. All I know is that I have most of the lights now but no hot water. I cant even go camping with out hot water!! :) At least I have a flush toilet!! :) Anyway, they had to take the water heater with and will hopefully be back with it tomorrow. I guess no showers tonight and a sponge bath tomorrow AM with boiled water!! We are safe and well so that is all that matters.
I have included a picture of this man doing his gardening here. We are in the city with high rise apartment buildings and many of them have beautiful flowers and shrubs outside their windows - we are talking several floors up. So this guy was out there in the rain weeding his garden!! Later! Mari
