No Electricity

A truck hit a powerline in the neighborhood of the house where I am staying. There was apparently a big boom in the middle of the night. I didn't hear it but certainly noticed when the lights would not go on for a dark trip to the bathroom.

The water supply here in the house depends on electricity to draw the water into the pipes. We are using very little water because there will be no more in the pipes until the power company restores the electric supply. Tomorrow I will likely be going out to a shopping center for coffee, internet access (my computer battery will run dry soon enough!), grocery shopping including for water.

My Sudanese visa has come through and I will be leaving sooner than later for Sudan. I am excited for moving into my new home!
