Pray for Rain

This is supposed to be the rainy season in Ecuador, but unfortunately, the rain hasn't shown up yet.  The entire country of Ecuador receives its power from hydroelectric power from on reservoir.  Currently the reservoir has only nine centimeters of water left above the line allowing it to work.  If we don't get rain soon, we won't have power.  There have been "apagones" (blackouts) lately in random parts of the city in an attempt to try and conserve power.  Sometimes the news notifies us, but other times it's a surprise, and unfortunately the power company/government doesn't always let the police know where the power outages will be either, so there have been a lot of traffic problems when the stoplights don't work.  At least we have gas run water and a gas stove, so if we were to loose power for a awhile we could still make a hot meal for the kids.
