Arrrrgh!

We've had no water for the past three days!

Power has gone out like 50 times in the last week.

The shelf on the inside door of our refrigerator fell off and a full bottle of Teriyaki sauce just crashed and exploded on our floor, which we can't really mop because there's no water (see beginning of post).

Have to shower at the school in the locker room.

Desperately needed laundry done for our trip to Barcelona this weekend, so had to hike it over to the school flats and impose on someone yet again.

Had to have my entire class checked for lice today - always fun!

It's been a frustrating week to say the least:(

On the plus-side though, we've found three Starbucks coffee houses within about 8 mins. of our B & B in Barcelona, so guess where our first stop will be:) Barcelona is becoming less and less an exotic local for sightseeing and culture-intake, and more a slice of normalcy that we desperately need.

Thank-God we got our passports back from the embassy in time. Unfortunately, a slew of teachers headed to Munich for Oktoberfest have not received their passports and may be stuck here for our first long weekend in two months. I'll be praying for their sanity. Maybe I'll bring them a little Starbucks back from Barcelona.:)

Friday is Nigerian Culture Day at school. Stay posted for a run-down on our first Nigerian event!
