much ado about nothing

This is the first time today I've been able to get in to write.  The internet and phones have been down.  That is a real frustration about living here but something I cannot change so must tolerate.

There were security concerns for the past 3 days.  A concern about demonstrations.  Thankfully there were none!!!   This is great but we were unable to go to the schools to help because of the concern.

Tomorrow is Carnival which is a holiday and again we cannot go out....this is mostly concerns about drunk drivers and frankly, I'd rather stay home and not get into an accident.....

We had an interesting wildlife episode.  In front of one of the homes they caught ad 2 1/2 meter (8 ft) spitting cobra.  I'm going to try to attach the photo to this blog.  I don't know if I can.  Actually it is a beautiful snake but I'm so thankful that it wasn't on my street....just one street away...

So the past few days have been quiet and I find this leaves me time to study language and read my Bible.  I do miss being very busy but believe that the time will come when I am again.
