The Road Becomes a River



Heavy rain in La Manzanilla has turned the road at the side of my house into a deep gorge that threatened to undermine the steps. Luckily, Dan was there to monitor the situation, and he ordered some large rocks to fill up the trench - there's no point in having the road graded or even filled with sand or gravel; it just gets washed away in the road that becomes a river during heavy rain. These rocks were placed aver 2 weeks ago, and now I hear that there has been more rain, and some of them have even moved. By the dry season (November onward) the roads should have been fixed, unless we get another crazy winter of unseasonable rain.
