We had a power outage today that lasted from 8:00 am until about 5:00 pm. You don't realize how dependent you are on electricity until you have none for long periods of time. Our solution: find something to do that doesn't require electricity. We took this time to explore some more around our community and visited a street market that isn't too far from our house. After that we stopped at the grocery store (ever shopped in the pitch dark? It is quite the experience!) Then we caught a cab and went to MetroMall for lunch and some lesson planning time because that part of Tegus had not lost power. Overall, it ended up being a really great day, despite the fact that I wasn't able to shower or cook the blueberry muffins I had been looking forward to making. Thankfully the power came back on in time for the big game tonight, so I am about to head over to a friends house for a cookout and to watch Honduras take down Trinidad.
Oh and as for the other half of the title of this blog - we have rats in our house. We are working on solving the problem, but it was somewhat disheartening to wake up this morning to find that the delicious rolls I had purchased from the panaderia had been half eaten by one of our little rat friends.
