If you're wondering where I've gone...

So things got interesting after 1 pm. Last night one of the generators in Airai blew up somehow. Apparently there was a huge fire and all of Airai lost power. To try to put out the fire, the firemen depleted the water supply here in Palau, resulting in no more water coming out of the sinks. This means no flushing the toilet, no taking showers, and no washing dishes. By morning we thought it would all be back to normal, but unfortunately the water was still all gone. At around 1 pm today we lost our power. Because Airai has no power, the government decided that Koror could share their generator with them so we can both have power. This is a problem that can only be fixed by a new generator, so for at least another month we will share with Airai. That means that from 8 am-2 pm Koror has power, 2 pm-8 pm Airai has power, and so on. It should be interesting to have no power from 2pm-8pm, because that's when we do our cooking and other important things. Today we literally just sat around and stared at the ceiling. We also got to take a nice walk in nature and there was even a breeze! It's just so bizarre that a whole island can literally use up all their water source on putting out a fire, or lose power for a month. Needless to say, life is always an adventure.
