The Wet Season has begun…


 
The rain has finally started for the season. It has been very dusty, dry and hot for several months, and the much needed rain has finally come.  It is great for the crops that very much need the rain, but it has made the drive to school very interesting. Since the roads are dirt, the rain turns them into a slippery mud slide. This past week, on our way to work we ended up getting stuck in the mud for a couple of hours until it was dry enough for us to spin our tires out of it. We then continued to slide along the road in parts. While sitting on the side of the road stuck, I witnessed several taxi go sliding by, a few of which I thought were going to tip over. I was able to capture a few videos of them making their way along the road in front of us. Unfortunately, my internet connection has not been good enough to post them (I tried a few times), but here is a picture of one of the taxis sliding off the road.
 
 
 
Also, while waiting in the car, a pig wandered out and since it was so muddy decided to have a mud bath in the middle of the road. J
