If a backhoe cuts through your main power supply and you lose your A/C, pray to the “Power Gods” for help - if the same backhoe cuts through your water supply, get yourself to Froggys!
We knew it was going to be extremely hot today so we had decided to spend the day indoors, near the A/C, taking measurements for new blinds etc. The Parque Tecalai has hired a Mexican crew to update their electrical system and of course the mode of operations is to ‘dig first - locate second’. The backhoe first cut the main electrical supply and two hours later we were still waiting for them to correct the incorrect repair [they spliced together the severed wires wrong and the A/C would not work]. We reasoned that we could live with the heat as long as we could jump in the cool [lukewarm] shower occasionally ... that was until they dug through the main water supply. We could have gone to the pool, but that would mean being in the full sunshine for 1 hour or ....5 hours. We already had too much sun yesterday.
Thankfully the water and power were back on when we returned two hours later. It is always an adventure watching Mexicans create problems and solve them.

Haven't heard from you for a few days. Did they get the power fixed for good or have you been without power again? Hope you are surviving the heat and humidity.
