SPECIAL UPDATE ¡TENEMOS ELETRICIDAD!

on NOVEMBER 8, 2018


Only roughly 7 months after our expected date, we finally have municipal electricity! You can’t imagine what a game changer this is. Instead of dwelling on what we will no longer have to do (run to the ice store every few days, start the generator to take a shower, etc.), I’d like to illustrate this milestone through a list of the things municipal power has enabled.

– Run the fan all night without power running out

– Take a shower anytime

– Wash/rinse hands while cooking

– Make ice

– Use the refrigerator for storing fresh food

– Flush the toilets

– Run the A/C when it’s hot and humid

– Watch a movie with our projector (see image)

– Play music on real speakers (Mackies!)

– Use power tools

– Dry my hair with a blowdryer

– Make bread and pizza


i love the irony of the first movie we watched
