Why now???

Check out weather.com for the latest tropical update, which details a tropical depression moving our way, with projected landfall...Wednesday night or Thursday morning! NO!!!! It looks like we may have to leave earlier to avoid getting stuck in this storm. What a bummer. We'll keep you updated as soon as we find out what's going on. We will call the Peace Corps travel agent tomorrow to see what, if anything, we need to do. Needless to say, we are beginning to pack tonight.

This afternoon we had a "redneck" moment. Picture this: An inflatable pool (kiddie pool) under an oak tree, a card table inside the pool, everyone's chairs around the pool so that their feet can rest in the pool, playing Mexican train dominoes. I think we got a few funny looks from the passers-by, but it was fun!

That's it for now. More later.
