for as much as the yard was flooded yesterday there was no water when i woke up today. yesterday the road was almost impassable, today there was no water. there are a lot of fields inundated with water but the river is once again confined to its banks. i could hardly believe it. i didn't think the bus would come this am because i didn't think it would be able to get through. there was no water. there is a subterranean water-lake system (or something) in this part of the country. i guess that's where it all goes. which is good because last year the tico times (ticotimes.net) (costa rica on-line newspaper) reported that underground fires had been intentionally set by someone trying to destroy the eco system here. they said the water levels had dropped drastically. i guess they're getting restored this year. they haven't had this much rain in 5 years.
if i hadn't seen it with my own eyes i wouldn't have believed it.
