Octubre: The time it rained forever.

In October it rained for something like 15 days and I'm still recovering from it...I've tried to write about the tropical depression that destroyed El Salv in October, but I can't come up with the right words to describe what it was like to be trapped in site with limited food and no transportation, soaking wet for almost two weeks. I'm obviously still suffering from PTSD from the rain, so here are some pictures I took during the storm. See for yourself:

Main road under water...

Baby Jefe loved playing in the rain. I did not love drying him off afterwards.

Road in front of my house was washed out.

Main road washed away. No transportation in and out for DAYS!

Shin deep in water on the street!
